PVC's 25% Burden and anaesthetic

Hi

I'm being investigated for my PVC's currently. They can see that they're coming from the right ventricle (if that helps!) Waiting for ultrasound and further ECG's.

My question is this - Have any of you had a general anaesthetic whilst having this kind of burden?

I've waited over a year for a spinal operation and finally the pre-op appointment came today. My PVC's are a new thing so my spinal consultant doesn't know about it. I've tried both cardiology and orthopaedics departments for advice today without any help being forthcoming.

Any advice most welcome

Thankyou

Yes, I just had a GA 2 weeks ago. The anaesthetist was aware of my heart issues and my cardiologist gave the go-ahead and told them I’d be fine. I was. :)

I have a genetic conduction disorder which causes PVCs, PACs, a left bundle branch block, SVT, NSVT, AF and bradycardia and I’m newly diagnosed with coronary artery spasms.

My daughter is an anaesthetist, she tells me that lots of her patients have all sorts of arrhythmias.
