I'm scheduled for a TAH at Muslim Maternity Hospital and was told to get a cardiologist's opinion for fitness what exactly do they check for and is this something I should be worried about? My surgery is coming up soon and I'm not sure what to expect from the cardiology evaluation

Cardiac fitness check includes ECG, 2D echo, and clinical evaluation to ensure you're safe for anesthesia and surgery.

View allI'm really concerned because my father just went through a TMT test and his score was 3.52 Mets. The doctor didnt recommend an angiography, but I'm not sure if we should still consider getting one. Could you help me understand what this means and whether we need to take further action?
A Mits value of 3.52 indicates a moderate risk of coronary artery disease. Since the doctor has not suggested angiography, it is likely that the risk is not high enough to warrant further invasive testing at this point. However, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendations and continue with regular check-ups to monitor any changes in the condition. In the meantime, medications such as Atorvastatin 20mg and Aspirin 75mg may be prescribed to manage the risk factors for heart disease.

It can be due to heart attack or gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. When a person is obese or have a lax esophageal sphincter there is a chance for stomach juices to get reflexed upto esophagus, causing burning pain or tightness in the middle of the chest.
