I have a local cardiologist, but I am going to Mayo in Jacksonville which is 160 miles from my house to see a cardiologist that specializes in thoracic aneurysms. The local cardiologist checked out my LAD and since it wasn't blocked basically didn't do much about the aortic root aneurysm. In fact, he didn't even do any specific tests for it. The echocardiograms on Oct 31 and May 10 were ordered by my primary care. The radiologist that evaluated them recommended a CT Aortography following the Oct 31st echo, but the cardiologist ignored it on Dec 12th and Jan 8th. I have a follow up with the local cardiologist, but he never did any tests and the Jan 5th follow-up would be 15 months after my first echo. He refused to look at the 2nd echo my primary doctor ordered even though the radiologist suggested the aortic valve leak was due to the dilation. My Primary Care doctor got me into Mayo as a result for a second opionion on July 22nd of this month.
