If I were a new cardiologist starting my own practice, what are all the types of medical equipment and supplies I would need to run my business? Does anyone have a checklist I could download?

Well, among other things, you should be equiped to accomodate blood tests, echocardiograms, cardiac stress tests, electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), Osborn wave, ambulatory Holter monitor, electrophysiologic studies, programmed electrical stimulation, measurement of cardiac enzymes, coronary catheterization, IVUS (IntraVascular UltraSound), etc

It depends what type of cardiologist you want to be. If you want to be an interventional cardiologist, you're gonna need a whole lot more equipment than a diagnostician.
In general, I would think EKG machine, Echocardiograph, Stress test machine, pacemaker programmer, emergency equipment, a small lab, plus all the rest that you would need as an internist.

A medical degree would help
