As mentioned in a previous reply, I got an appointment with the surgeon 5 days after the test. The surgeon reviewed the images and began scheduling for the bypass surgery.

My regular cardiologist gave me a prescription for a nitrate to address the mild angina while waiting for the surgery. The surgeon is one of the best here. He said that bypass is urgent, but not an emergency. My hospital would not have admitted me if I had been sent before seeing the surgeon, which is exactly what happened to another patient who had been sent directly from their test.

At any rate, I am on track for surgery and will go in for preoperative testing in a week.
