Question regarding FAA > JAR Medical

Hi, First off let me introduce myself as I am new to the website.

My name is Robert and I live in the USA and I'm 22 years old. I hold a Polish Passport concurrently with a USA one. About three years ago I had an open heart procedure performed in one of the best clinics in the world. My recovery has been great and after rigorous paper work clutter I now successfully hold a FAA 1st Class Medical. My intentions however are to fly in Europe, which means I would have to apply for a JAR Medical. Will my chances still be as good as they were with the FAA?
If anybody can assist in the matter it would be greatly appreciated!

In a nutshell... It was a Coarctation of aorta 95% blockage. and a small PDA with no significant shunt. the surgery was dubbed coarct repair. I am now taking medication but my BP is again normal, I have great endurance, and doctors say the murmur that was once present is gone.
