I was born with BAV and havn't been to a Dr. in years, decided to finally go in since the little voice in my head wouldn't shut up about it. I had to see a general physician first to be referred to a regular cardiologist since I did not have one. My blood pressure was 120 over 60 my blood work was perfect, cholesterol, blood cell counts etc etc, and my eccho showed 1.3 cm of my bav with some stenosis and I was under the assumption after I was givven an appointment date and a Dr.'s name I was being reffered to a cardiologist. I decided to look over the hospital's website and see that the Dr.'s name I have an appointment with is under the cardiovascular and thorasic surgery not the cardiologists section of the hospital.
any particular reason for this, or am I just making mountains out of mole hills? and cardiovascular & thorasic surgeons are who physicians typically refer people to with my condition?
