The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of propofol induced general anaesthesia on the ST-segment of the electrocardiogram. This will be realised by retrospectively analysing the ECG-recordings from adult patients undergoing any treatment at the Catheterisation Laboratory. The ST-segment and other ECG measurements from induction of anaesthesia up to 20 minutes later, will be assessed and compared to the baseline values of the respective segments acquired before injecting propofol. It is essential in this study to exclude any patients burdened with the diagnosis, suspicion or family history of Brugada syndrome.

ST-segment variations after propofol administration.
Timeframe: Baseline ECG will be measured before administration of propofol. ECG will be measured in the 20 minutes following administration of propofol
