###Human: I am a WPW syndrome patient. What effects can I expect from mining work? ###Assistant: Hi. Thanks for the query. The working environment has nothing to do with increasing the chances of WPW (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome). However, some patients could collapse and have a brief loss of consciousness with WPW episode. It is recommended that those patient work in as safe as possible environment like avoiding the situation that requires being on ladders, and it is better in your condition to avoid areas with low oxygen and where ambulance and emergency help might be difficult to get to. The risk of WPW is if the patient develops atrial fibrillation that could end up with fatal VF. Have you thought about WPW ablation?
