My mom needs cataract surgery but her ECG came back abnormal is it still safe for her to go through with the procedure? What should we consider before moving forward?
An abnormal ECG before cataract surgery requires careful evaluation. It's crucial to consult with a cardiologist to assess the risk of cardiac complications during and after the procedure.
