I definitely would choose echo over muga. I'll share my experience with muga scans as I have before: ' My first muga scan reading was 49. Drs. weren't sure if they would give me herceptin. I did 4 rounds of A/C and then had another muga. It then read a 58. So according to these readings, the 3 months of harsh A/C actually improved my heart significantly. My oncologist laughed at the results. Obviously there is a large margin of error in these muga scans. '
I believe the hospitals invest a lot of money in these 'muga scan's and sometimes I think there's a financial reason why some tests are used more often then others. Just my opinion. It makes sense to me to use the least intrusive test that gives you the most information.
