<p>Hello fellow Heartbeats!<br />My 15 year old son was diagnosed with WPW syndrome last year. He is scheduled for his ablation Later this month. It seems like an easy procedure and recovery. He wears a heart monitor to keep tracking of episodes of WPW. His episodes seem to be more frequent so we’re happy he’s scheduled for this correction. My reason for reaching out is to maybe get feedback on other WPW experiences after the ablation procedure. Also to ask for a quick prayer for my son. Thanks and take care!</p>

My son was diagnosed with WPW at the age of 16, and successfully had an ablation a few months later. He tolerated it very well; he went home a few hours after the procedure, returned to school three days later, and resumed normal activity/exercise in less than a week. He’s now 24 years-old and has had no cardiac issues. Wishing the best of luck for your son!

Hi @erixfam,

I wanted to ask after your son – did he have the ablation? How is he doing?

Hello Kanaaz,
Yes he had the ablation, they were able to find it during the procedure. So far so good, no issues reported.

Thank you so much for asking.
Eric

Hi, Kristina Behnke.. my daughter was just diagnosed with Wolff Parkinson white syndrome.. they did all the tests for it. They made her do a stress test. The doctors said she did a great job . She’s a runner. Go ahead and put her in volleyball. Then 2 days later. I got a call from them saying we want to the surgery, we are very scared and confused. On what to do? Any help with oils be great. Thank you
