Jacqui,
My daughter had this condition and was treated successfully at Papworth.
The technique is to introduce a wire through the groin up to the heart,
stimulate the heart into an irregular beat and blast the offending area
with radiofrequency ablation (roughly speaking). We were told once the
proceedure had been successfully carried out then life would be no
different to you or I and there should be no restrictions on whatever
job she chose to do. (That was about 7 years ago).
Hope this helps,
Sue.
