Echocardiogram?
Hello all,
I recently went for an initial class one medical, but my ECG showed a minor abnormality.
The paperwork states I need to have a clinical report, exercise ECG and Echocardiogram (not 24 hour ECG). I also received a list of acceptable consultant cardiologists to the CAA, and under the Aeromedical Centre CAA section it states the following with the prices (I have left out the prices in case they change):
Initial consultation..........£xxx
Follow-up consultation....£xxx
Exercise ECG.................£xxx
24hr ECG......................£xxx
24hr Blood Pressure........£xxx
Echocardiogram... Not available
I phoned up the CAA medical department to ask which order and what I need to do, but I was a bit confused.
Am I right thinking I need book in an initial consultation, then Echocardiogram, Exercise ECG then finally a Follow-up consultation?
My initial understanding (when I spoke to the doctor when I had my inital exam) was that I only needed to get an echocardiogram and exercise ECG, and they will send it to the CAA.
I was wondering if anyone has gone through the same process and can shed some light on this please.
Regards,
JP
