Any risks associated with bubble study echo?

Hi! I just got back from the cardio and my heart was given a clean bill of health!

Just wondering though, are there any risks associated with a bubble study? I had one, and now my anxiety has me a bit worried, since I know that bubbles are generally bad for the heart. I know these are microbubbles, but still.

Anyone know of any risks? Thanks!

Re: Any risks associated with bubble study echo?

All tests, I guess, have risks. That being said I can't imagine the bubble test being risky or they wouldn't perform it so routinely. (Not that it's routine for us... I had one too and no probs from it). I don't think there is any cause for alarm and if there were it prob. would've happened immediately.
