first_generation said:Hi seddiq. Did the cardiologist require further tests? If he was only prescribed medication, it may not sound serious, as long as your dad is stable. I honestly don't know what asymptomatic heart problem is, but what I can share with you is that my dad was also required to see a cardiologist since my dad is taking certain medications such as warfarin and requires regular blood work (inr). He was then asked to undergo additional test like Stress Echo and Holter monitor. Cardiologist Findings were my dad had previous mild heart attack in the past (which my dad didn't notice), also said he has atrial fibrillation and equivocal ischemia and he's current state is stable. Even with those findings, my dad got issued with visa. Hopefully your dad will have similar positive result.
All the best in your application.
Thanks alot first generation. Asymptomatic means that he has no symtoms of heart disease, but his heart has problem. The cardiologist did some investigations and diagnosed asymptomatic atrial fibrillation. Prescribed medicine, same warfarin n two other drugs. And asked to perform one more test after two months to see if there is a clot. If not then he should do cardioversion (give electric shock to normal the rhythm of the heart) thats it.
