I just got my EKG report and it says "borderline ECG." I went to the cardiologist for surgery clearance for bariatric surgery. Should I be worried about this result? Could this affect my surgery? What does "borderline ECG" mean exactly?

Borderline ECG means that the results of your electrocardiogram are not definitively normal or abnormal. It could indicate a variety of issues or it could simply be a variation of normal for you. It is important to discuss these results further with your cardiologist to determine if any additional testing or monitoring is needed.
