Yes: Yes. Generally height and weight are checked at each cardiology appointment. Of course, the height does not change every time.

Always: Height, weight, vital signs, oxygen saturation, history and physical examination are all done on every visit. Electrocardiogram, echocardiogram and other testing are done when needed.
