Is it safe to have a tummy tuck with PVCs and occasional NSVT?

October 21, 2019
Asked By:Honest474 in Atlanta, GA

I have PVCs (0 to 60 a day) and a 5 second or so run of non sustained ventricular tachycardia once every couple of months. I've had a heart echo (normal), a heart angiogram (normal), a holter monitor (showed two PVCs), and a 30 day event monitor (showed a variable amount of PVCs as well as one short run of NSVT). My cardiologist told me that my heart was healthy and that the PVCs and NSVT were both benign. He said he didn't think I needed any treatment. Would a tummy tuck be safe?
