Stroke volume (SV) depends on body size. A better measure for heart function is ejection fraction which is also measured on echo. How high is yours?
If your ejection fraction is normal and the heart relaxes properly between the beats (diastolic function) you don't have heart failure or cardiomyopathy. :-)

EKG doesn't give the diagnose accurately. There are almost always EKG changes (EKG is very rarely normal) in the setting of cardiomyopathy, but it doesn't give the diagnose.
