I have done my 2d echo (heart) 4 years before and the reports are normal. Should I have to do echo once again to know my heart health?

Question

Dear lybrateuser, 
- Unless you have any new symptoms or have been advised any followup for a heart problem it is not required
- follow a healthy lifestyle with a well balanced diet, regular exercise & minimum stress for your heart health.

Dear lybrate-user
Please liberate your self first from thoughts of doing investigations unless called for by professional in medical fraternity.
You have not mentioned the reason of doing 2D Echo more so I think you had been screened and found structurally (anatomically) a perfectly NORMAL Heart four years ago.
If there hasn't been substantial changes that there has been in lifestyles I don't really suppose you need to do 2D Echo.
