Getting a Second Opinion on Your Heart Treatment
If you have been advised angioplasty, bypass or a long course of medicines, a second opinion is a reasonable step.
When it helps
- Before any major procedure that is not an emergency
- If the diagnosis is unclear
- If you want to understand other options
How to do it
- Carry all reports, angiography films and medicine lists
- Ask the same questions to both doctors
- Compare reasons, not just recommendations
Remember
- Never delay care in an emergency
- Be open with your first doctor; good doctors support second opinions
