While preparing for surgical removal of portions of his right eye due to an eye injury, Fausto Camilo was sent for a preoperative cardiac assessment with Michael Schwartz. Camilo, now 64, had a history of congestive heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, post mitral valve replacement, hypertension and diabetes. But Schwartz rated Camilo to be a low cardiac risk for surgery and found no reason not to have the procedure done, according to Camilo’s lawyer, Paul da Costa of Snyder Sarno D’Aniello Maceri da Costa in Roseland.
