My Son Is 25 Years Old. About 7 Years Ago,

Posted on Tue, 30 Apr 2019

Question: My son is 25 years old. About 7 years ago, when he was 18, he was involved in a car accident resulting from him passing out while driving. In the hospital it was discovered that he had WPW Syndrome. Several weeks later it was treated with a catheter ablation, and he has had no problems since that time. However, he recently enrolled in a police academy, and part of the training is to actually be tased. Does that cause any concerns with the previous heart condition? Thank you. Don
