A PCP reviewing an echo is not really within their scope of practice unless they’ve trained in cardiac ultrasound. I do echo and vascular ultrasounds for a living and we get referrals for all sorts of crazy shite from PCPs like murmurs or mitral prolapse and the echo we do is essentially completely normal. Not saying there’s nothing wrong with your SO, and the symptoms she’s having definitely need to be addressed, maybe that’s why they referred you to a cardiologist. A PCP shouldn’t be reviewing cardiac ultrasounds and unless there was some extremely obvious abnormality, they wouldn’t really be able to interpret much of the scan. From my experience at least.
