Lidocaine with Epinephrine in SVT

Lidocaine with Epinephrine in SVT

Hello, I have SVT which is well controlled - I need some dental cleaning/filling/extraction....is it safe to be exposed to 2% lidocaine with 40 mcg of epinephrine for this dental work?
Thanks

  I also have SVT and am in the process of dental work, and I don't have any trouble with
lidocaine with epi. Occasional my heart will react to the epinephrine initially, but it reacts to it as a normal heart would...I get some palpitations but don't have anything near a SVT episode.
There are times where I ask for injections without epinephrine, but the effects of the numbness last a far shorter amount of time so I wind up needing more injections. You can ask for Carbocaine instead, if you're worried, but yes, it is safe to use if you have SVT.
