Did the heart surgery stop the back pain?

Someone had to go to the doctor to find out they had back pain?

Female family member?
For heart problems men generally have pain in the chest or shoulder, whereas the presenting symptoms for women can be just about anything.

Never heard of back pain being misdiagnosed as heart problems. I wholeheartedly recommend Jackson Heart if someone needs a cardiologist.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm

You gonna share what it is?

Aortic aneurysm?

You kinda give us more info, heart surgery is a broad topic,,,,,, back pain is an anginal equivalent meaning it’s a atypical presentation of cardiac related issues,,,,,need a lot more intel to take an educated guess

Not that unheard of. Some things involving the heart can present with back pain. Aortic dissection being one.

I'm going to guess that the two were actually unrelated, but going to doctor for back pain lead them to discover heart condition.
My heart attack (no classic symptoms) was found through blood work.
My subsequent need for bypass surgery found through a stress test (that I honestly felt I did very well on).
found a hereditary heart condition all because I felt dehydrated and thought I was going to pass out at work one morning.

The go get a scan on the back and it reveals something with the heart

What I bet happened was the surgeons asked for a “cardiac clearance”. The cardiologist will then do a history looking for signs of unstable heart disease such as chest pain indicative of coronary disease, unstable arrhythmias or valvular disorders. Some cardiologists will blanket order stress tests on all these pre-op patients. Sometimes this leads to heart caths to define coronary anatomy and really what they are looking for is critical coronary disease in need of revascularization prior to non-cardiac surgery, hence why it’s felt that someone needed bypass and/or valve surgery prior to back surgery. It happens often.

my FIL. Technically, it was the back of his shoulder. Left me on a Thursday night complaining about shoulder pain. Went to the hospital later that night. Had open heart surgery a few days later. Passed in recovery. Never saw him again.
Not trying to scare you, but this story is what it is.
