Summary
A 50-year-old male comes to the operating room (OR) for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. His past medical history is significant for hypertension controlled with metoprolol and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) and chronic smoking. He reports good functional capacity and is able to care for his lawn and house. He does not have an EKG on file. Should you delay the case in order to get an EKG?
