After 5 months of waiting and worrying, it is down to one more test/ procedue.
It is called heart catherization - the insertion of a catheter into a chamber or vessel of the heart. This is done for both investigational and interventional purposes. As I understand it, it is to measure intracardiac and intravascular blood pressuresand to take tissue samples for biopsy of the heart muscle.
An easy procedure I am told--- in by 8 am, out by noon on an out patient status.
Then the FINAL decision on the hip replacement!
