It is important that you be in optimal health prior to having surgery. Since this is an elective procedure and not an emergency it is prudent to wait and evaluate the heart rate and EKG and determine what is causing it and treat it. Once you are stable the surgery can be rescheduled. This may be a nuisance as you were all prepared for your procedure but the cancellation is for your own good. A competent surgeon would not operate on a patient who had unstable vitals.
Hope this get worked out, best of luck.
