That's great news. I'm not surprised. General internal medicine is a very very busy department. Given that you're primary concern is heart-related, you've landed where you need to be based on the review of your medical records by Mayo Clinic experts.

Once you have your initial appointment, testing and assessment, additional appointments in other departments (including internal medicine if necessary) will be arranged. Your cardiologist will be your main provider and will quarterback any additional needs.
