I like you was always and athlete.
What was your ejection fraction?

I was just on Cleveland Clinic cardiology and was looking at athletes heart. Could this be your cause. I was dianosed with cardiomyopathy that caused LBBB and electrical issues in my heart. With a ICD/Pacemaker and some great medications my Mayo specialist put me on my EF has been stable for 10 years.

When I was on Cleveland Clinic one of the tabs was request and appointment. You can't do any better than Cleveland Clinic in Ohio or any Mayo Clinic.

You mentioned Mayo appointments. I have been a patient at Mayo Jacksonville since 2006. I did a request for second opinion back in 2006. I saw a EP who referred me to a Mayo heart failure doctor. I have been a patient of Mayo Jacksonville since.

If you are having issues with getting into Mayo Cardiology consider asking for a second opinion. Or can you get an appointment with a primary care doctor and then asked for a referral. Just trying to brainstorm so ways to consider.
Good Luck

ejection fraction is 60 to 65 percent.

thanks for suggestions

do you know if Cleveland Clinic cardiology is just as difficult or not for appointment compared to Mayo Clinic? When I turn 65 years , I will be on Original Medicare with medigap G so will allow me to see almost any doctor without referral.
