Subject: mets greater than 4?

The patient has not had any coronary revascularization or evaluation ever.  He does not have any clinical predictors.  He has good s/l  mets?????? greater than 4.  The patient can go to the operating room with minimal cardiac risk.  The doc is spelling the sounds like.  Thanks
