Maybe: Please discuss the test results with your doctor and he/she may be in better position to tell you the correct answer. With the information you provided, i will have to take a guess, which will be a wrong choice. Good luck!

Echocardiogram: An ekg can demonstrate heart rhythm and enlargement of the heart chambers but cannot detect congestive heart failure. An echocardiogram will show the status of the heart muscle strength or weakness as well as size of the chambers and status of the heart valves. A chest xray will show more advanced heart failure. Your md has this information and can advise you best.
