Depends: The echo is done over a 20 to 30 min study. The tests are usually batched and a designated reader interprets the study. Then in most places the study gets typed up and returned to chart. A week to 10 days would be about right. Any longer and you should call and enquire.

Logistical: That really depends on the logistics of where it was done. It does not take long to read an echo, but dictating a report and getting the information back to your doctor and then back to you make take days.
