Can you have false positive echo stress test such as false ischemea to the heart ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All tests have a: false positive potential.This is called Specificity. A stress echo has a high specificity,so,I would be very inclined to believe the results.Discus this with your treating physician.There are additional tests that can be helpful.Consider it true until proven otherwise,to b safe.
