A member asked:
I'm on propranolol for svt! how dangerous is general anesthesia for me heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Beta blockade: The overall risk with your underlying conditions is minimal. The type and length of surgery are more important factors. You may need 'cardiac clearance' ( a review of your cardiac health) by a cardiologist depending on the precise situation. Schedule an interview with an anesthesiologist and discuss your concerns.
