Is Tummy Tuck Surgery Safe With Right Atrial Abnormality With Right Axis Deviation In EKG?
I am about to get a tummy tuck and was sent for an EKG. The results came back that it was abnormal due to right atrial abnormality and borderline right axis deviation. Would this most likely prohibit me from getting the surgery done? My surgeons office is closed for the next 3 days and my pre-op is scheduled for the day they re-open.
HI TUMMY TUCK SURGERY IS COSMETIC LIPOSUCTION WHICH IS A LOW RISK SURGERY.SO YOU CAN GO AHEAD WITH IT ALTHOUGH YOUR EKG INDICATES RIGHT AXIS DEVIATION. I WILL SUGGEST ECHOCARDIOGRAM TO KNOW THE CAUSE OF EKG ABNORMALITY.OBESITY IS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE FOR SUCH ECG CHANGES SO WEIGHT LOSS WILL HELP. THANKS DR PRANAY BUDKULE
