Hello there
My name is Andrei, i am 21 years old, i was a professional tennis player till recently when i decided to quit due to different reasons, one of them being the following:
I was diagnosed in 2010 with Wolf Parkinson White (WPW) syndrome, for which i sustained a catheter ablation in August 2010. The problem only occurred STRICTLY whilst practicing or during a tennis match, so only when under a lot of physical effort, i have never ever had any problems outside of the tennis court with this syndrome
Although doing the ablation, in April 2012 this problem has come back, but not as aggressively as before and certainly, the periods where i would have a very high heart rate were definitely shorter ( they used to be 10-20 mins in 2010, down to only 30 secs-2 mins max), also only and only on the tennis court, the so called episodes usually started after a sudden move after almost 30 minutes of intense running
My question is: since i did the catheter ablation in 2010 and also, since this problem has only occurred whilst under physical stress, what are my chances of succesfully obtaining a Class 1 medical license after the visit to the cardiology department?
Anxiously waiting for your answer.
