Cardiac Clearance

I had my pre-op EKG last Wednesday. Unfortunately my Dr. saw 1 extra beat and a negative procardial t-wave. Now I have to go for Cardiac Clearance. I will be seeing a Dr. Kassamali by Golden Ring near Franklin Square this coming Tuesday. My surgery is scheduled for 9/12 and I don't want anything to hold it up. Has anyone seen this doctor? Can you tell me what to expect for his testing? I forgot to ask. Also, can I have chocolate? I know I shouldn't, but I really need a chocolate fix right now. Its been a long tiring week. Will chocolate affect my heart tests? I know I'm whining, but today I need it!

Thanks to anyone who can shed a little light here.

I am sorry I don't have an answer to your question, But I wanted to wish you all the best. They will probably find nothing and give you clearance right away. Take care and keep us posted.

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.

hi april... i just noticed that you're having the same surgeon (Dr. Vanguri)... that i did. my surgery was 5 years ago... and i really like him! i don't think that eating a little bit of chocolate will hurt your tests... that is, if you don't eat alot. have you ever thought of eating sugar free chocolate? and no, you're not whining... sounds like to me... you're on the right track... my prayers are with you.... take care april...
