Propofol may be used without conduction concerns in healthy subjects; leaves open effects in those with preexisting arrhythmias.
Does propofol anesthesia affect sinus recovery time or atrio-ventricular conduction in healthy subjects?
Propofol anesthesia does not appear to depress sinoatrial node function or pathologically increase atrio-ventricular conduction in healthy subjects.
Romano et al. (1994) studied this question.
