What can affect the outcome of an echocardiogram?

Can such things as having a fever or having just exercised or being nervous affect the outcome of an echocardiogram?

Dear Navyard,
The transient hemodynamic findings associated with fever, exercise or anxiety do not have an impact on the immediate results of an echocardiogram.
Thanks for your question,
