Modern anesthesia is generally very safe and should not cause heart failure. Even if you have a weak heart general anesthesia can be safe.
Yes. Very rare if done properly
If you have a heart condition, not knowing...maybe the stress of surgery and anesthesia and the fluid overload could give you a heart failure.
No. You should be safe. Have EKG & Chest X- ray Done before surgery.
