As a rule, the medical report of an Israeli cardiologist begins with a description of a detailed medical history, family history, your current health condition, heart and blood pressure parameters, blood tests, comorbidities, based on the files you have provided and the questions you have been asked.
Since for an online consultation, in addition to files, the discs of echocardiography / heart MRI / heart scintigraphy / coronography / others are obligatory as well. Doctor review them in Israel and indicates diagnosis, writes his opinion and treatment recommendations in a report.
