She knows: Integrating the results of your history ,physical exam and laboratory tests that you mentioned your Cardiologist will have a pretty good idea wether there is something wrong that will require further testing and I am sure she will explain it to you.Otherwise it is fruitless and a waste to order unnecessary testing that are expensive

See below: The cardiologist reviews your symptoms and the results to the tests. A normal stress test with a normal EKG makes heart failure or significant arteriosclerotic heart disease unlikely. Blood tests can indicate high cholesterol (common in thyroid disease) that can be treated. Other tests can rule out anemias and inflammation. If you have further concerns, call the cardiologist and ask.
