Seeking Excellent Cardiologist ASAP

I am a single parent, female, in my 50's, who saw a cardiologist at Berkeley Cardiovascular Group a year ago regarding arrhythmias, occasional chest pain, and shortness of breath. I had an Echocardiogram and was given a Holter monitor to wear for two weeks. I didn't hear from the cardiologist following the tests so presumed everything was ok. A few weeks ago, (almost a year later), I took my blood pressure and it was 215/110. I walked to Alta Bates ER and was sent home later that day when it was 179/90. I called the cardiologist, who did not remember me, took a good bit of time to find my records, and then told me I had "thickening of the heart walls" and needed to come in. He would not answer questions on the phone. When I saw him, a few weeks ago, he said I did not have Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy which is what "thickening of heart walls " translated into in an online search, but that I had "Left Ventricular Hypertrophy." He made light of both the condition and the arrhythmias, saying they were both "common" and that everyone had arrhythmias. I can't read the echocardiogram results myself, and nor do I feel confident in this doctor and so I'm looking for a new cardiologist. The family history is not good: My father, fit, slim, and otherwise healthy had his first heart attack at 30, then a pacemaker, later an aortic aneurysm in his 50s, and heart attack that killed him at 70yo. A brother had heart surgery (a device placed in Left Femoral Artery for 90% blockage) at 40yo, and my sister died in her 40's of a pulmonary embolism. I have read a bit, and am now wondering if my father might have had Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and thus perhaps I might. It may be difficult to get his records in Europe but I have written. I'm wondering where to start. Cardiology Genetics? Or a cardiologist with a specialty? Should I go to UCSF or Stanford? I will travel. I would like to reverse the LVH if it is possible but I understand if I have cardiomyopathy it will not be possible. I have not taken any medications my entire life except the odd antibiotic dose and now feel I have to take the Losartan prescribed to lower blood pressure. I'm hoping that there are others on BPN who have been on this path themselves or with a loved one, and if so, might be able to offer suggestions, and especially names of top cardiologists/specialists/ cardio geneticists (with or without a wholistic/alternative bent but I lean towards latest research/treatments and alternative/holistic medicine) who are at least at the top of their field, are highly recommended and current with the latest treatments. I want to be here for my kids as long as possible. Thank you!
