I am a 56 year old female preop for breast reduction had abnormal EKG showing normal sinus rhythm, voltage criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy, cannot rule out septal infarct, age undetermined. I am scheduled for echo and exercise Cardiolite stress test and was placed on 20 mg daily of Benicar for mildly elevated BP. With EKG findings as above, are echo and stress test the way to go and if cleared with these two tests is that enough to undergo 2-3 hour surgery?
