This doctor at the time was in his late 70s, he may have amassed enough wealth to have this type of equipment in his office

I do know in other small to mid size doctor offices (where there are 2 doctors in a partnership), they do the ultra sound over the lower abdomen to determine the size of the prostate gland

I'm going to make a note that this is called a "stress echo" test where they do an ultrasound over the chest to determine any blockage in a file I have made thanks to all your constructive contributions and keep the names anonymous.

My current GP should know all the tests (including the computer imaging tests that reveal blockage). I am going to let him know nicely he left out tests based on my family history, when his nurse contacts me and also by a letter I'm going to mail him along with a couple of Christmas gifts. He does not have voicemail, another indication that this is subpar health care, but his nurse takes messages for him

Thanks, again, AlmostGone
That was just an ultrasound to get a picture of your heart/ look for enlargement, etc. A stress echocardiogram is a different procedure.

Keep us informed and "Good Luck".
