What is the risk of anaesthetics to a patient with heart problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All anesthetics: Must be tailored to the needs and medical limitations of the patient. Discuss your medical issues with your doctor and then a plan will be crafted with them in mind. Your anesthesiologist will make sure those problems are optimized before moving forward to minimize risk.
