Any test can be inaccurate and nothing in your medical records can be deleted however, they can make a note to the fact that there may be some inaccuracy. EKG's are inaccurate at times too.

@19281928 Yes, I know EKG's often have artifacts...the patient moves, the skin patches are not securely in place, the patient is sweating, perhaps too much hair chest which must be shaved, the machine is not working right, etc.
It just amazes me that such a highly sophisticated cardiac test, taking 3 1/2 hours to complete can be wrong. A complete waste of time for the patient and all the staff involved.
