Need a recomendation for a cardiologist that specialized in diving

[cdemay]

I recently suffered from decompression sickness. The diagnosis was that I have a small heart issue that prevents the release of nitrogen. They recommend I see a cardiologist.

I live in the east bay, outside san Francisco.

Thank you

Hi @cdemay

What kind of "small heart issue" prevents the release of nitrogen?

Perhaps you could contact DAN is see if they could make a referral

Do you need a cardiologist with hyperbaric expertise of just a good cardiologist or heart surgeon?

Is the "heart issue" a Patent Foramen Ovale? Patent Foramen Ovale | The Heart & Diving - DAN Health Issues & Diving
