I have covert wpw syndrome, i have it from 16 years, can i fly?

Yes: You can fly as a passenger without issue. If by fly, you mean be a pilot, you will probably have to undergo some extra testing to be cleared. Hope this helps!

Wpw svt: Most of the time you can fly, however there are some patients with WPW, who have frequent episodes of SVT or long attacks of SVT, these patients might potentially have issues during flight. If one with WPW has SVT, that person needs catheter ablation anyways.
