This is a very complex area. In general, most people with a cardiomtyopathy can tolerate a general anaesthetic. Special precautions may be necessary in people with sever impairment of heart function or uncontrolled heart rhythm problems. In some cases, we recommend that essential operations are supervised by an anaesthetist with a particular interest in heart conditions.
