I'm a 24-year-old guy and I've been told I'm obese, with a BMI of 33.4. I had an echocardiogram done about six months ago, and fortunately, everything looked normal. I'm really trying to keep an eye on my heart health, so I'm curioushow often should I be getting an echocardiogram to make sure everything stays okay?
echo advised once in 6-12 months..
