Question:
has anyone been denied surgery for abnormal heart rate?

I had an ekg and it was abnormal, so my doc sent me to a cardialogist and i had to wear a holter for 24 hours. It was 120,000 extra beats. do you think this will disqualify me. the cardialogidt said it was not the kind of heart beats that they worry about and put it on the letter to my surgeon. going nuts!!!

I also have extra beats. My surgery is in two weeks and I have not yet had my preop tests. I have however had two surgies with the extra pvc's with no problems.
