Risk : With no risk factors and negative stress test risk from running is low. Would suggest walking first and then slowly combine run to increase stamina and confidence

Start slowly.: The recent stress echocardiogram being negative is great reassurance about the health of your heart. Start cardio slowly, even with just a 20-30 minute brisk walk. As you get more conditioned, and more confident, you can push yourself more.
