Yes, if your heart is healthy and functioning normally, then you should expect to receive normal results on both an EKG (electrocardiogram) and echocardiogram. An EKG measures the electrical activity of the heart by monitoring the small electric signals that control heartbeat. It records these electrical signals in a graph form which can be used to diagnose any abnormalities in cardiac function.

A echocardiogram is a test that uses sound waves to create pictures of your heart that help identify different structures within it as well as how well it’s working. It can provide information about whether there are any thinning or thickening of the walls, valve disease or fluid buildup in or around the heart structures. During this test, your doctor will also measure things like blood pressure, oxygen levels and other information related to cardiac health which can all help determine if your heart is functioning properly or not.

Overall, having a healthy cardiovascular system should yield positive results on both an EKG and echocardiogram exams so you don't have anything to worry about if all other aspects point towards good health!
