Annie, I'm sorry if I'm not explaining this well, so I'll try again. Actually yes, a neuro can analyze a cardiac test. Neuros are needed often after a person has a heart attack or stroke. As a heart patient, I can tell you that a neuro is indeed a useful tool in heart health. And although they are Neurologist, and not Cardiovascular specialist, it's important that they are educated in Cardiac issues.
For example, I see a Ph Specialist who is not Pulmonologist, but a very well known PH doctor,in fact third specialist in the world. He is a Cardiologist. Pulmonary Hypertention is a heart disease that affects the the lungs, or vice versa, so both a Pulmo , and Cardio has to be educated in this area. Same thing with Neuros and Cardios.
I wouldn't know this if I didn't have to have to go to them both for cardiac problems, this is why I asked if you knew.
I'm 45, and I've had my share of being treated a certain way cause I'm a women, but I have to say, the age has been all over the place. LOL it's not just the oldies, but the youngeons, the in middle agers.. a butt cheek comes in all ages LOL...etc. Boy Tyson, hope you can figure all this out, don't want to confuse you.
Hope I've explain this well, Sometimes my mind works faster than my fingers. Love Lizzie
P.S. Many times a neuro will order tests, and then refer the patient to the specialist. My neuro first did some tests, and based upon those tests referred me to the appropriate specialist.
