Cardiologists' Overhead Going Up According to MedAxiom

A study by MedAxiom found that cardiologists' overhead came in at a new high of $710,000 in 2008. Office visits to cardiologists increased by 12 percent and return visits by patients increased 34 percent. Cardiologists tended to perform at least one echocardiography test per day in 2008. That's a 43 percent increase over the number of echocardiograms performed five years ago.
