[|Human|] I had an EKG as pre-op for upcoming surgery a week ago. Next week, I will be taking a stress test a day before I am scheduled for lithotripsy for a kidney stone. The heart doctor will not clear me for the surgery because he will not be able to have the results in time. Can he do this and why would he?
[|AI|]  HelloThanks for query. Normally in India we do not do preliminary cardiac evaluation of a patent who is to undergo Lithography(ESL) for kidney stone unless patient has any cardiac problem .ESL is a non-invasive modality of treatment carried out as out patient procedure for fragmentation of kidney stone and has no morbidity. If it is routine protocol in your country to take fitness from Cardiologist you can certainly delay ESL for a couple of days till you get clearance from cardiologist.  Chat Doctor.
