Your surgeon will require a complete history and physical exam from your primary care doctor. Other tests such as an EKG, chest X-ray and blood test may be required, also.

Some hospitals have a pre-surgery screening center that coordinates all of your required testing. 在其他医院, you may be responsible for contacting your primary care doctor, 实验室或影像中心, and following your surgeon’s directions for sending the results within the requested time period.
