If you're a Clinton resident preparing for surgery, your doctor may require pre-operative cardiac clearance. This important step ensures your heart is healthy enough to handle the stress of surgery and anesthesia.

Pre-operative clearance is a comprehensive evaluation that assesses your cardiovascular risk before surgery. At Cardiology Consultants of Clinton, our experienced cardiologists perform thorough assessments to help ensure your safety during surgical procedures.

Your surgeon may request cardiac clearance if you have:

• History of heart disease or heart conditions
• High blood pressure or diabetes
• Previous heart attack or stroke
• Age over 65 for certain procedures
• Multiple cardiovascular risk factors

During your pre-op clearance consultation , our cardiologist will review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and may order diagnostic tests such as an EKG or echocardiogram.

Before your visit, gather your current medications list, previous test results, and surgical details from your surgeon. This information helps our team provide the most accurate assessment.
