I am not a medical professonal but I do have a lot of experience as a
pateint with surgeries. Your heart is essential to you being alive. It
can not be in your best intrest to go ahead with any surgical procedure
if there is suspicion you might have a heart problem. This is why pre
admission testing is done in the first place. To make sure the pateint
is medically okay for surgery. Yes, it is fustrating and upsetting to
have more delays in your ultimate goal of getting well but this delay
iMO is one you should be greatful for. As it would be much much worse
to have anastegia and be operated on with a heart that is not working
proberly. I hope my response does not upset you.
