I was able to schedule my surgery and evaluation on the same visit. If you already know that you will likely need surgery, they can schedule you for testing for the first day or two of your visit, and surgery shortly after as long as they agree that surgery is warranted. You can call this number for cardiovascular scheduling at Mayo Clinic Rochester, and they can help you figure it out: 507-284-3994. I waited a few months for mine, but I wanted a specific surgeon and cardiologist and needed to make family arrangements.

It you want to read about my myectomy you can read my blog that I wrote at the time at:

Also, my current blog has a page of resources for people undergoing myectomy:

Best of luck to you.
