PVCs

[lingalos]

I was dignosed with PVCs just this April 2008 and the cardiologist refused to have me undergo surgery on my ovarian cysts. How dangerous are these PVCs on persons who will undergo surgery?

I'm wondering the same thing as upbeat633.  Has the doctor asked you to get cardio clearance and that's why he/she is waiting on the gyn surgery?  I had several procedures under different anesthesia (twilight, propofol) and also had lots of pcvs.  I was probably more worried than everyone else.  All turned out well.  Turns out the anesthesia has a very positive effect on my pvcs -- quiets them way down.  

With a structurally normal heart, PVCs are not anything to worry about.  Do you have an appointment with a cardio?

Have you had a complete cardiac work-up and been told your heart is healthy besides having pvcs? You should ask your cardiologist why he/she doesn't want you to have surgery.

An E.P. I recently saw estimated 30,000pvc/day based on recordings from a 30 day event monitor. But I also had a recent minor surgery with general anesthesia and not a single person including the anesthesiologist nor the surgeon even blinked an eye over it.
