Should have.: Your heart was cleared. Are you having symptoms or just concerned?

Rest Assured: As long as you are on medical care and you do not have any symptoms of cardiac and other complications of your diagnosed lyme disease you have to not be concerned about it anyway we do not how you were diagnosed with lyme disease and what treatment you received. So discuss your condition and results of your treats in that context.

Yes: An echocardiogram would show weakness of the heart muscle if carditis were present. An ekg would be abnormal also with carditis. A stress test looks for abnormalities in the coronary arteries which is not a characteristic of carditis which affects the heart muscle. Your test results show a normal heart and normal heart rhythm.
