A member asked:

If you have a normal stress echo, how long is it "good for;" is there a recommendation on how often if you have family h/o heart disease?

Dr. Elizabeth Wallen answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Well, : It kind of depends on why you got it in the first place. If you are asymptomatic, continue to have good health, you don't really need another one ever. If circumstances change.,,then get another.
