I look at my Echo results and keep track of it. I also do not allow my heart practice to have anyone other than my MD cardiologist see me. They didn’t catch my condition when it should’ve been caught so I had already switched to a valve specialist. Now I’m one 1/2 years post surgery and I ask plenty of questions and call or email if I think of more later. I do write down my questions.
I have learned over the last year and a half that making a list of questions before each specialist visit was the best way to remember what I wanted to cover. I keep track of all my appointments/questions in what I call my “Heart Notebook.” Tracy and Liza’s book has been a great resource too.

I've one of those people who has had a LONG lapse in care. This has really inspired me to change that. Thank you.
