Asked By:AbundanceIsMyBirthright in Hawaii, HI

I'm going to see a cardiologist before my surgery but would like to know if any doctors on here have performed these surgeries on someone with heart palpitations and if so were there any complications during surgery as well as during recovery. Did it increase the stress on the heart possibly making the palpitations worse.?
