What boggles the mind is that I read this about my diagnosis at age 70,fromER hospital Testing. Not the hospital physicians ,nor the 5 cardiologists I visited explained anything at all, in fact I asked the 5th Cardiologist, “Don’t you coordinate a heart healthy supervised exercise preventative program,including dietary evaluation and assistance,whether in community hospital or home, and she answers “NO” you have to have a heart attack then you will receive Preventative Assistance!!! She never explained in detail my diagnosis,nor provide a preventative program, saying I do not have a heart condition and yet note this article about my diagnosis;

Doctors have separated into many specialties and their training is specialized. Doctors want to keep your business and even if they know they don't have the skills best suited for your particular needs, they will not send you to a Doctor who would better serve you. From my experience locally, even if you seek a better fit for your condition, Doctors will not "steal" you from another Doctor. They will do a "second opinion" but that's as far as the code of the medical/industrial/insurance complex allows. "Do no harm"? Malfeasance, liability and malpractice concerns rule the medical profession! 😎

It can be confusing when different doctors provide varying opinions. Here are some points to consider based on your knowledge base:

- Heart Disease Diagnosis: Heart disease is typically diagnosed based on symptoms, physical exams, and various tests. Common tests include EKGs, echocardiograms, and more.
- Testing and Symptoms: Sometimes, early symptoms of heart disease can be mild and easily confused with other conditions or signs of aging.
- Second Opinions: It's not uncommon for different doctors to have different interpretations of test results. Seeking multiple opinions can help ensure an accurate diagnosis.

If you continue to have concerns, it might be helpful to discuss them further with a cardiologist who can review all your test results comprehensively.
