The pre-op tour continued today. I mentioned previously that there are a lot of appointments coming up before surgery. I had an EKG (electrocardiogram) today, and it showed an abnormality in my heartbeat. So, the next step in that process will be a Stress Echogram at a cardiologist's office.
I'll keep you posted.
Oh, the abnormality? A potential problem with the electrical impulses at the 'AV Node.' The AV node (Atrioventricular node) sets the rhythm of the heartbeats. Apparently, there is a delay in the conductance of the signals at that node.
I think that the stress test will prove that this is nothing serious. We shall see.
Good night.
Got one of those funky beats too. Found it after a trip to the hospital to repair a broken finger. After several follow ups found out it was the next best thing to a regular beat. Wouldn't worry too much there. We already knew we were irregular..probably more ways than that !!

Hey, 'normal' is highly overrated!
