Medical evaluation: A medical evaluation is a part of pre-anesthesia check and is carried out prior to surgery. Please be sure to mention it to your doctor so that it may be taken into account in the evaluation.

Depends: The palpitations per se do not make surgery higher risk but you should be evaluated to be sure that the palpitations aren't indicative of a more ominous underlying cardiac condition.
