Question:
I had a stress test done in August, Can they use this?

I had a stress test (heart) done in August? Can this be used as part of my pre-op testing? or will I have to go through it again?    — Gloria K. (posted on January 29, 2002)

My first surgeon required one, so I had a stress test in August and my surgery date with him wouldn't have been until April. My new surgeon doesn't require one. It is unlikely that you will have to have another stress test, but an EKG is a standard part of the pre-op medical clearance that you'll have get right before your surgery.

I had one done before I had decided to do surgery, and they let me use the results of it.
