What are the risks when having a general anesthetic with ventricular ectopic?
Having a general anesthetic with ventricular ectopic beats can pose several risks, including potential cardiovascular instability during surgery. The ectopic beats may indicate underlying heart conditions, which could be exacerbated by anesthesia and surgical stress. There is also a risk of arrhythmias during the procedure, particularly if the anesthetic affects heart rate or blood pressure. Close monitoring and a thorough preoperative assessment are essential to mitigate these risks.
What does VPB's mean on a holter monitor report?
