EKG results

[majorsmama 91]

I had my EKG and chest xray today as the final part of my surgeons pre-op requirements and I had the results of both of them emailed to me so I could provide them to my PCP for clearance. My EKG had abnormal results. The note on the EKG says First degree AV block. I Googled and found that it's likely nothing serious and can even be a result of unbalanced electrolytes. I'm just wondering if this could have an effect on my surgery. I wonder if my surgeon will now require clearance from a cardiologist.

Does anyone have experience with this?
