You will speak directly to our team. We typically respond within a few hours.
You have just been told you have a blockage. Perhaps a doctor has recommended angioplasty, a stent, or even bypass surgery. Before you agree to anything, take a breath. You are allowed to pause. You are allowed to ask for more information. And you are allowed to have your reports reviewed by another team before you make a decision about something this important.
Getting an expert review is not disloyal to your doctor. It is not an overreaction. It is the right thing to do when a significant procedure is on the table - and any cardiologist who respects their patient will understand that.
At Apollo CVHF, we review angiography reports, CT CAG findings, and surgical recommendations every week for patients who simply want to be sure. We will look at your reports carefully, explain what they mean in plain language, and tell you honestly what we find - including when we agree with the original recommendation, and including when we do not.
Getting a second opinion is not disloyal to your doctor. It is the right thing to do when a significant procedure is on the table.
Apollo CVHF Heart InstituteWe see patients in all three of these situations every week. Each one deserves a careful, unhurried review.
You have had a coronary angiogram, and a blockage has been found. Your doctor has recommended angioplasty or stenting. Before you agree, it is worth having your report reviewed by a second team - not because the recommendation is necessarily wrong, but because you deserve to be sure.
A recommendation for bypass surgery is significant. Before committing to any surgical procedure, having your reports independently reviewed is a reasonable and responsible step - one that any good cardiologist will understand and respect.
A recommendation for valve surgery - whether repair or replacement - is a significant decision. Before committing, it is worth understanding whether all options have been considered, including whether a catheter-based approach such as TAVI or MitraClip may be appropriate in your case.
