Summary

A 57-year-old female is scheduled for an urgent appendectomy. She is on vacation. She reports that 3 years ago she had a cardiac transplant in her home state. She reports feeling well now, and that she is seen regularly for all of her required follow-up appointments. What further information would you like? What testing or labs would you like? How does her cardiac transplant affect your anesthetic?
