Overview
If you have previous cardiac investigation reports, they may provide useful context when reviewed by your healthcare professional. Whether the older findings are relevant depends on your current symptoms and reason for the new test.
What you may need to know
Where available, bring referral notes and reports from previous Echo or ECG investigations. Do not assume that a previous result answers a current medical concern; changes in symptoms require appropriate assessment.
Questions and next steps
The clinician should explain what any new report means for you and whether follow-up is needed.
