I'm a bit confused about how often someone should get a 2D Echo and ECG if they're feeling perfectly fine. Should it be done once a year or more? And what if someone starts showing symptoms; how does that change things? Would love to get a bit more clarity on this.

For a healthy person without any symptoms, it is generally recommended to do a 2D Echo and ECG once every 1-2 years for routine screening. However, if you are experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, or dizziness, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate testing frequency.
