Hole in the heart.

[config-2]

Does anyone have a definite answer as to whether or not a hole in the heart, once repaired, will stop someone from flying as cabin crew?
Thank you for your help.

Hey.

I started a similar thread about his a few weeks back.

It depends on what 'type' you have. Some of them don't need fixing and can just be left as they are, so i doubt it would effect you being cabin crew.

Have a look here.

I would have thought that most, once repaired would be fine. Some may even be fine without repair. Functional effects of relative hypoxia at altitude with possible vigorous exercise important
