I had echo's all the way I have read that the heart docs? prefer the information owever I do believe you can get different results due to operator but not vastly different. When my EF dropped I had a Muga as comparison and ten back to echo's again. There is not, from my experience, a vast difference between the two. BTW with an echo they check general heart health too - which is a good bonus.

Regards
