Welcome @alex1962. Am I understanding correctly that you have heart disease as a result of radiation treatments for cancer? If yes, you may be interested in this related discussion:

It sounds like you are looking for information about how to request an appointment at Mayo Clinic. Here's the contact information to call or submit a request online. You can self-refer or have your doctor refer you. http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

Mayo Clinic offers a program to address heart problems associated with cancer treatment called cardio-oncology. The Cardio-Oncology Clinic (https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/cardio-oncology-clinic/overview/ovc-20442193) evaluates people prior to cancer treatment and patients who have experienced side effects due their treatment.

Hi @colleenyoung . Thanks for the info-packed reply. Yes, my radiation heart disease is a result of chest radiation in 1988. Can you tell me, who are true general cardiologists and surgeons at Mayo who treat/specialize in patients with my history? I'd like to set up a consultation, using the links you supplied, but would like too do so knowing whom to see. Thanks, again.
