@lpaelevated4 Happy to hear .... good news for you. I have had so many "echocardiagrams" and they have always been normal. I've also had "normal" ECGs with some borderline. Long story short - 4 stents in LAD and finally upon my insistence for 2+ years I finally had an cardiac MRI (after requesting it to my 5 prior cardiologists who felt it was unnecessary), and finally I demanded it with my new woman cardio who agreed to do it; a diagnosis of microvascular disease (global) which finally explains all my symptoms and we started treatment. So advice is be your own advicoate - and to all doctors please listen to your patients.

@gerrycf Was on a long walk a month ago and met a retired Health insurance company administrator. She told me it doesn't matter which health plan you have, you need to do your own research, ask questions and advocate for yourself for better care.
Thanks for your reply. Best to your health .
