Is an EKG Necessary for Pre-op Rhinoplasty in a 45 Year Old with No Heart Issues?

January 21, 2012
Asked By:shabby in Saint James, NY

Hi! I am a healthy 45 year old woman who is currently seeking primary rhinoplasty. I am finding that pre-op testing varies greatly from doctor to doctor. I understand having blood work done but is an EKG necessary for a patient with no heart problems? Thank you.
