Yes, if they aren’t listening to you, I would move on to another cardiologist.its frustrating dealing with Drs who don’t have a valid reason to wait. I feel like saying, “wait for what?” I mean there’s no benefit to waiting in my honest opinion because we are only going to get older, weigh more, etc. it’s harder on our bodies to “wait” and have surgery when we are older. The bottom line is, I have an aneurysm. It needs to be fixed. Now. I don’t see ANY benefit to waiting. It needs to be replaced, it’s not going away, it’s only going to get worse and I’m going to be older and less of an optimal candidate for heart surgery. Of course this is only my opinion. But fight the fight for your heart and a better outcome than my husband had. Best of Luck and I hope you find a cardiologist that will listen. If you don’t find that cardiologist, find a cardiac surgeon that does these grafts and repairs. Likely the surgeon will help you most. Take your CD of your echo/cT/MRI to the surgeon. If this can save even one life it’s worth it!
