Anyone had an Echo report that says 'not well visualized'?

[briskate]

Hello. Just wondering if anyone has had an echocardiogram report that says 'not well visualized' on certain parts of it?

Did they want you to have the echo repeated again? Or did they suggest some other kind of scan instead?

Thank you!

Basically this means that it was impossible to interpret the result and is better than someone guessing at valve diameter or EF. In some cases a TOE is called for if there are concerns or a clearer view of some valves is required.

I had one, that said couldn't get good pictures because of bmi and couldn't check for aneurism. I'm 5'10" and was 14st so not vastly overweight but now 13st 6 so doing something about it. They were able to see I had regurgitation in a valve but she said it was a drop in the ocean, no follow up required apparently.
