80 yo had surgery for elbow fracture March 11 and had AV
heart block. Troponin T 11 ng/L after surgery and then 17 ng/L the following day. Told it was a benign arrhythmia and we didn’t need to do anything about it.
Ever since been feeling very weak, breathless upon exertion, ankle swelling, pain in center of back. Went to the ER back in March but EKG and other tests were clear.
How common is a heart block during anesthesia?
