Based on your thinking, the American Heart Association should now recommend that (all?) heart patients get retested every few months. But if the retesting comes under the heading of a "second opinion" it may be justified. Could it be that the doctor retested because he knew he should be warry of cardiologists, some of whom are not trustworthy? If so, he made my point.
