FYI, I can second that. I had a 5 by-pass in 1995 and had a similar experience. Once they have all the info they need [complete medical history] they make a go, no go, decision based on heart damage. I did not have a heart attack but a angina attack, prelude to the heart attack. Then the by-pass was done. Since then I do my stress test and blood chemistry and get my medical back[ one year at a time].
