Would anesthesia cause complications with my premature heart beats?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Premature beats: Some anesthesia can make premature beats worse. Anesthesiologists are trained to know which agents to use for which people. Sometimes they want to consult with a cardiologist to be sure what is appropriate for specific patients.
