ONLINE HEART SURGERY REVIEW

WHAT THE ONLINE REVIEW INCLUDES

More than a video call. A decision-ready record.

The work happens before any live conversation: your record is assembled, reviewed from both specialties, and translated into a report you can use with your treating team.

01

Two independent specialist reviews

A cardiac surgeon and cardiologist each review the complete record, then bring the operating-room and cardiology perspectives into one co-signed report.

02

A written report in every package

Every tier includes the same co-signed WHITEGLOVE Insights™ report. Higher tiers add live physician consultation and ongoing support.

03

Your individual risk in context

When applicable, STS PROM, EuroSCORE II, and AATS risk models are considered alongside the details those calculators cannot fully capture.

04

Options and tradeoffs in plain language

Open surgical, minimally invasive, catheter-based, and medical paths that may be relevant to your case are organized for the next conversation.

05

A check for what may still be missing

Incomplete workup, unresolved questions, and additional studies to consider with your treating team are called out before you decide.

06

Practical next steps

Leave with a concise set of questions and a clearer path for talking with your current physicians, another surgeon, or your family.

What is an online cardiac consultation?

It is a remote, medical-record-based review of a heart surgery decision. With WHITEGLOVEMD, a cardiac surgeon and cardiologist independently review the complete record and co-sign a written report. Packages above the written-review tier add a secure live consultation with one or both reviewing physicians.

Who reviews my case?

Every case is reviewed by both a cardiac surgeon and a cardiologist. The two specialties bring different perspectives to the same record and co-sign one written WHITEGLOVE Heart Team report.

Does every package include a written report?

Yes. Every package includes the complete record review and co-signed WHITEGLOVE Insights™ written report. Live physician consultation is included only in the higher consultation tiers.

How much does an online cardiac consultation cost?

After your complimentary conversation, we email the package we recommend, what it includes, and the secure next step. The written-review package is the starting point; additional service levels add one reviewing physician live, both WHITEGLOVE Heart Team physicians live, or Concierge access through the day of surgery. There is no cost to talk to us.

How quickly will I receive the report?

The report is delivered within 24 hours after required medical records and imaging are received and confirmed complete. If something is missing, the records team will tell you and can help with collection.

Do I need a referral or need to travel?

No referral is required, and the review is completed remotely. You can upload records and receive the report without traveling to another hospital.

What records do I need?

The exact record depends on your condition and proposed procedure. It commonly includes specialist notes, echocardiography, catheterization, CT or MRI studies, laboratory results, and relevant hospital records. Upload what you have, and the records team can help identify what is still needed.

Is this a real-time virtual cardiology appointment?

Not at the written-review tier. Every case begins with review of the complete record by both specialists. Higher tiers add scheduled live consultation with the reviewing physician or physicians; this is not on-demand care and does not replace your treating team.

Can the report be shared with my current doctors?

Yes. The report is designed to support a more productive conversation with your treating cardiologist, surgeon, primary care physician, and family. You decide whom to share it with.

What if I have chest pain or urgent symptoms right now?

WHITEGLOVEMD is not an emergency service. Call 911 or seek immediate local emergency care for chest pain, severe shortness of breath, fainting, new weakness, or any other urgent symptoms.

WHITEGLOVEMD provides educational decision support and independent medical-record review. It does not replace your treating physician, establish a physician–patient relationship, diagnose, prescribe, or provide emergency care. Call 911 immediately if you may be experiencing a medical emergency.
