Cardiac Clearance

[UPRR Wifey 89]

I see my cardiologist tomorrow for my yearly check-up and am supposed to have my cardiac clearance completed as well. What can I expect? I see my PCP on Thursday for my 6th visit and I also start my pre-op diet. Time is winding down and I hope that I will be prepared. Not nervous yet...

Yes that is who medically clears you ! That is a bery important part . They do a sonogram of ur heart . Then they do a stress test and put u in a treadmill n make u run then do the sono again . The reason they do this is to see how ur heart reacts to fiction

My cardiac clearance was questions and an ekg

It depends. You mentioned that you have a yearly exam with your cardiologist, is there an underlying problem? I had to get clearance because I have mitro valve prolapse which has never affected my health, but as a precaution I was given a EKG and echocardiogram. I was not required to take a stress test.

KyrstalP, my surgery date is February 21. Geminidrive I have mitral regurgitation ( not affected my health) and hypertension. I usually have an echocardiogram but didn't know what else to expect

I have mitral regurgitation also with heart palpitations and hypertension. Since my cardiologist already has run alot of tests, he just looked over my medical file, ran a EKG, and asked questions, then cleared me. I will tel u that I should have made a follow up appt to regulate my meds because I started getting very light headed after loosing about 40 lbs. and it takes forever to get into my cardiologist. I have to wait till feb 16th

I have mine the 12th, next week. I was told it'll be a stress test on a bike, some questions, and an EKG. Not too worried about it, had an EKG done last year (just because my PCP wanted to do it, there was no reason). Shouldn't be too awful bad. I'm more worried about my stomach exam thing than anything for some reason.

The cardiologist may require you to have a stress test. Good luck.

The cardiac clearance was a breeze! When I got there he had already sent over my clearance last month. They did an EKG which he said looked great and I am good to go. Last PCP appointment on Thursday! Getting excited...
