Advice on extrasystoles

Hi everyone,

I am planning to have my initial class one medical next March in Spain. Given that a recent Holter showed the number of extrasystoles to be rather high, I have underwent radio frequency ablation last month in order to reduce their number.

While waiting for the "results" of the intervention (I am wearing Holter at the moment) I was wondering if anyone knows if there is any limiting number of extrasystoles that would disqualify one from obtaining the class 1. I am asking this because my cardiologist (who is not an AME) might find this information useful so as to know whether the RF ablation should be repeated. Alternatively, she mentioned the possibility of taking beta blockers, and I wanted to know if a holder of class 1 could take such a medication in Europe (I have read that FAA allows for it, though).

Thanks in advance!
