A member asked:
Is there any type of structural heart disease an echocardiogram will not show? if an echo is normal, is it safe to say heart is 100% structurally fine
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mostly,: There are some rhythm problems such as Brugada syndrome that won't show up on an echo as a structural issue. A complete history. Physical, appropriate lab work, and very importantly an ECG (EKG) should also be done. Can I assume all these test were done before, or along with an echo?
