Not at all sure I can do this, because during a pre-surgery checkup in spring, I was diagnosed with a complete Left Bundle Branch Block. It was confirmed by a cardiologist, and then examined through a 24h ECG and a cardiac echography. Both of which came back normal. I have been undergoing job medicals regularly without any issues, so the LBBB onset is likely less than 2 years old. The cardiologist deemed it "idiopathic" and asymptomatic, the most likely cause being a hefty infection after my second COVID shot.
Is it at all allowed to clear people for an initial EASA Class 1 with this condition (initial probably being the key word here - wish I´d never had the old one expire...)? If so, what would the protocol be / which examinations required? Would I have to do more than what has already been examined?
Hello,
I’m not an AME, nor do I have a first hand experience with LBBB. However - in case it helps - for initial you need to show a 3 year history of stability. So I assume this is 3 years from diagnosis.
