History Of Twin Sister Having Mild Heart Attack Followed By Extensive By Pass Surgery. Recommend Cardiologist Possilbly In Johns Hopkins Hospital In Baltimore

My identical twin sister had to go through quintuple by-pass surgery nearly five years ago. She had a complete physical exam including a stress test one month before she suffered a "mild" heart attack. She had no heart damage, but had to go through extensive by-pass surgery as stated above. I am looking for an excellent cardiologist and surgeon in case I am looking for the same procedure in my lifetime. i'd like to establish a rapor with the best possible cardiologist, even if I have to travel to Johns Hopkins Hospital. I am 66 years old, female, recently widowed after being my husband's care-taker for CBD for the past 8 years. His Neurologist was a fantastic doctor at John's Hopkins, and she was most impressive with excellent availability and empathy to our cause. My husband had a Phd. in Biomedical Engineering, and was a Flight Director for Nasa Shuttle Program. Do you have an excellent Cardiologist in mind, or do you have any recommendations on how I might be able to locate one on line? I now live in northern Virginia, and my hospital preference would be: Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD, or Inova Fairfax Hospital. Both, I believe, are highly ranked for cardiology care.
