Can an echocardiogram be wrong

Yes, an echocardiogram can yield inaccurate results due to various factors such as technician skill, patient anatomy, or technical limitations of the equipment. Additionally, certain conditions may not be detectable depending on the imaging technique used, leading to potential misinterpretation. It's essential for healthcare providers to corroborate echocardiogram findings with clinical assessments and other diagnostic tests for a comprehensive evaluation.
