cardiac evaluation

[Tiera 0]

I have to have a cardiac evaluation next week. Does anyone know what kind of test they perform in a cardiac evaluation?

I had an electrocardiogram, a.k.a. ultrasound done.

Just a small correction it's an Echocardiogram. I was lucky enough not to have to have any cardiac testing.

Oops!! You are right!! It had an E and a C in it

I've had lots of heart stuff done recently and none of it has been painful yet.

It depends on your personal and family history. I just had an ECG (electrocardiogram), but many patients also have echos and/or treadmill stress tests.

I am making an appt this week with a cardiologist. I am looking forward to getting that clearance.. then I have a few more months of nutrition counseling before I can get my surgery date. patiently waiting

I had two tests for clearance. One was the EEG thing they're talking about (more jelly on the belly, feelin' around and watching my heart on a monitor) and the second was a stress test on a treadmill. Under 5 minutes of running/walking and they could easily see that I'm fine with activity - I'm just fat!

I had the EKG , echocardiogram and the stress test all of those were a piece of cake!!!!! Don't even worry about them so simple!!!!

I am 59, waiting to have my cardiac stress test next week. My insurance calls for 6 months of being followed by my physician. Oh the hoops we jump through. I can hardly wait to be banded. I'm from MIchigan and it is cold cold and icy..

You've been around for over 700 months. What's another six?

I am almost at the end of my wait and haven't regretted the wait at all. It gave me plenty of time to soul search and continue my research.
