EKGs are painless and take like 10mins. Very easy. Couldn't be any easier to get peace of mind, to know that you can continue to be very active.

I've got a heart mumur and can tell you from experience that EKG's are easy. If you don't know how one works, or worried about getting one, don't be worried. All they do is put some gel on the ends of suction like cups and put them to your chest. The machine prints out the heart rhythm and that's it. Takes all of 5-10 minutes.
It's best to keep a check on things. I've gotten two done in my 40 years of life. Doesn't hurt to keep track.

yes it would be a good idea and follow ups every 5 years. Prevention is good medicine. Plus you will have peace of mind.

Yes it is extremely important for you to see if there are any unresolved issues with that vasculitis.
Go see your cardiologist to make sure to clear you for all activities.
