I really appreciate your answer. I had doubts since my report only informed about left ventricle and I thought how can such an expensive test is not able to at least take a quick glimpse to the much smaller right ventricle. Maybe they inform any abnormalities and if non is found they just save some ink, thanks agaij.

It shows abnormalities of all chambers and walls of your heart and is about 85% accurate due to a higher rate of false positives results to false negatives. The specificity is about 97% meaning ti will find heart disease 97% of the time it is present.
