While you are under anesthesia, your heart is being continuously monitored. If the cardiologist and the anesthesiologist assess you and decide it is safe for you to have general anesthesia for your procedure, then it is likely ok. It really depends on the frequency of the PVCs, whether or not they all look the same, if they happen together, etc. Good luck!
