Yes, I know some people say, "well, the Cardiologist will find exotic heart problems that a PC doctor will miss." Give me a break! Most doctors, including Cardiologists, won't even find asymptomatic stable CAD in people with normal range Lipid panels. Like me. We know this because half the heart events happen to people with this BG when their CAD became unstable. These people had never been diagnosed as having heart disease. And if for some reason they had gone to the typical Cardio he would not have done a heart scan, and so he would not have found it either. If you have a heart event or valve or electrical heart problem your PC will find it just as fast as a Cardio. Perhaps the day will come when Heart Scans get so common that they are used as a screening device. If that happens and the Doctors out there treat CAD the way Dr Davis does, the Cath Labs will be empty.
