Before elective surgery, your surgical team may request cardiac clearance. ACA provides thoughtful pre-operative heart evaluations for Macomb County patients.

Advanced Cardiovascular Associates performs pre-operative cardiac assessments for Macomb County adults preparing for non-cardiac surgery. We review heart history, medications, functional capacity, and recent testing to estimate peri-operative risk.
Sometimes additional tests — such as an EKG, echocardiogram pathway, or stress testing — are recommended before clearance. We coordinate efficiently so surgery timelines stay realistic whenever possible.
Clearance is not a rubber stamp; it is a safety plan. We communicate findings to your surgeon and primary care doctor and outline medication instructions around the procedure date.
Ask your surgeon’s office to send records, then call ACA to schedule clearance at Shelby Township, Sterling Heights, or Warren.
Understanding your options for Pre-Operative Cardiac Clearance in Macomb County starts with a conversation. ACA clinicians focus on the “why” behind each recommendation so you can participate in decisions about testing and treatment.
Lifestyle foundations — activity as advised, nutrition patterns that support heart health, sleep, and tobacco avoidance — remain powerful alongside medications. We help prioritize changes that are realistic for your routine.
Patients often ask what to bring to a first visit. A medication list, pharmacy details, recent labs, and discharge summaries (if you were recently hospitalized) help us move faster and avoid repeating tests you already completed.
Questions are welcome at every visit. Write them down beforehand if that helps — covering symptoms, side effects, work or travel plans, and family history often leads to a more complete plan.
