Cardiogram

Does anyone get a echocardiogram done by your primary care doctor instead of your cardiologist.

My regular doc doesn't do this however my cardiologist has a sonographer do them in the cardio office and the cardiologist reads it and watches as it's being done.

GP did so she could make some money, sent it over to Cardiolgist to read.  Was before i had a cardiologist.  Now the cardio does which makes sense.

Your PCP can't read/interpret the results so there really isn't any point in having him do it. That's your cardiologist's job.  Have him do it.  Your cardiologist is a better judge to tell you how often you need one. Doctors should stay in their lane.

I agree
