Hi Doctor, I was scheduled for spinal surgery afew days ago and I arrived at the hospital for special surgery I was brought in the room to be prepared and the anesthesiologist came to speak to me and said she needed to speak with my cardiologist about my aortic regurgitation problem and she could not reach him. the problem was she was a littleReluctant to continue with my surgery because she said my condition was severe and I was sent home.My cardiologist sent the hospital a letter for clearance about a week before but apparently it wasnt enoughI was very disappointed by the way my number was a 4.
It seems the cardiologist should first evaluate aortic regurgitation and manage it before safe anesthesia can be given this is what your anesthesiologist means
