Surgery/Anesthesia with PVCs?

I'm curious if anyone has had surgery with a history of bigeminy/PVCs? Is there any risk? I need cataract surgery--so not general anesthesia--but I think they use propofol? Is another EKG required? Thanks in advance!

I have had severe PACs, PVCs , SVTs for a couple years. August of 2020 I had to have hip surgery with general anesthesia. I had to be cleared by my Electrophysiologist and my Cardiologist. May depend on the doctor. Hope that helps and everything goes well.

Thank you! Glad all went well for you. I'll check with my cardiologist for sure.
