I was given a “consultant” cardio specialist at ucsd I found out a few months ago. A battery of great tests were run in the fall. Good on them! However as explained in the book I mentioned (outlive) ucsd practicing drs are working on Medicine 2.0 which is identifying but not exploring Medicine 3.0 which is dependent on exploring ALL the underlying components and the puzzle pieces all fit together on an ongoing and evolving basis - reoccurring tests and analyzing how I change as I age. They diagnosed me as in the 66 percentile of of age and they were done! So I asked for a regular cardiologist that I will see on an annual basis. I am pretty pissed off how they drop the ball. Everyone is so specialized these days that expecting overlap seems to be unreasonable. Good luck. I always seem to break the system as well!

@writer413, your joke about breaking your old cardiologist made me smile😊.
