A member asked:

Has mvp ever been missed on an echocardiogram?

8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: Yes , no test is 100% sensitive. Sometimes Amyl Nitrite is given to make the prolapse more apparent on echo.

Dr Ali and 3 doctors agreed

MR echo: If it is mild it is can be missed but if it's mild it doesn't really matter because it doesn't require any further evaluation.
