“Heart tests?”
I had a nuclear stress test, holster monitor test, and electrocardiography, all normal. Do I need an echocardiogram test now? I have no symptoms.

It's good to hear that you passed those previous tests. An echocardiogram can give information not available from your previous tests. The echocardiogram can tell a doctor how well your heart valves work. That kind of information can be very helpful to know. Some heart valve problems do not produce symptoms until the problem becomes advanced. If this is the reason your physician wanted the echocardiogram, I would recommend that you go ahead and have it done.
