...outcome as mine, that is, "we'll keep an eye on it."

The way it was presented to me led me to believe I was a goner. Eventually I recognized there was a communication problem in the institution I was using. (It would have been nice if some of the people communicating had actually looked at my chart, but it seems that might have been inconvenient. )

(My only symptom was a heart murmur detected by my regular physician.)

I've scheduled the 6 month follow up at another institution.

I hope your outcome is at least close in the end to mine, and if you need treatment it goes well and you have a complete fast recovery.
