I'm not sure which part of the thread you are responding to.
I my case, after increasing and persistent chest pain, several trips to ER and 3 coronary cath's reporting bery limited narrowing in my main coronary arteries, my cardiologist strongly encourages me to go to a place where they do research.
I went to the chest pain clinic at Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN. They did bery extensive testing. They made suggestions for med changes to my local cardiologist, which help. They conduct ongoing research and I was selected to be a subject for one study of new treatment technique.
They've been very thorough and have offered cutting edge solutions.
For me, it's been worth making multiple trips to Minnesota

@caw670135 I’m glad @wessells was able to get to Mayo Clinic. Unfortunately, most are not able to. The university hospital systems in each state also offer excellent care and many are in touch with Mayo Clinic for difficult cases.

I asked my neurologist about the possibility of my going to Mayo Clinic and she said that she partners with Mayo Clinic. I added the link to find the Mayo Clinic network members. Maybe one is near you. There are also Medical Centers of Excellence in many states.
Do you think these suggestions are a possibility for you?
