Abnormal Echo?

Anyone have an Echo that the machine states you have a problem but the Doctor reading it states that everything looked normal and fine? Happend to me, the machine detected my lower venticule pumping at 35% and should be between 56-66 according to Dr, but he stated that he went over the results with the Dr reading the test and he stated that all was fine and saw nothing abnormal. My Dr. states he i not worried about that but wants to go ahead and do the nuclear stress test just to be sure all is well. My PVC's I feel in the bottom on the left side of my heart, and my BP is always around 60-70 on the bottom side. Is this weird to anyone else?

an echo can be bad, yes. But that seems like a big difference: 35-55

Seems strange to me, but there is a reason we hire an expert to read lab results.  I would trust the doctor.

As for the stress-test, I see that as independent of your pumping efficiency.  I don't think the stress-test either confirm or reject the 35% reading.
