I'm no doctor, but from what I've read about Wolfe-Parkinson-White Syndrome it can be effectively cured through cardiac ablation therapy. They thread a catheter up an artery from the groin and then zap a nerve bundle that is causing the irregular heart beat. Once the nerve bundle is destroyed, the irregular heart beat is gone. From that point on, it's just a matter of allowing the burned tissue to heal for a week or two.
LAMARCUS ALDRIDGE UNDERGOES SUCCESSFUL HEART PROCEDURE PORTLAND, Ore. - Portland Trail Blazers forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge underwent a successful procedure today to evaluate the status of the electrical system in his heart, it was announced today by the team. He will be sidelined for 5-7 days before he can return to practice. Aldridge, who was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome in 2007, underwent a similar procedure to correct the problem at the time of diagnosis. Aldridge, 26, holds career averages of 17.3 points (49.2% FG, 77.1% FT), 7.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.02 blocks and 34.8 minutes in 379 games (338 starts). Notching his best season to date in 2010-11, Aldridge was named to the All-NBA Third Team after averaging a team-high 21.8 points (50.0% FG, 79.1% FT) to go with 8.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.01 steals, 1.16 blocks and 39.6 minutes in 81 games (all starts). One of three NBA players to rank in the top 15 in points (14th) and rebounds (14th) last season, Aldridge ranks sixth in offensive rebounds in team history (1,068).
Thank you. Mostly I am worried about how if 1-2 weeks is 'enough' for nba-basketball level activity for that scar tissue to 100% completely heal. Always worried about heart issues, obviously.
aldridge_12 Thanks for the support everybody. I'm feeling better and will be ready to go in a few days.
If you just found out that the two players that were going to help you are now gone, wouldn't you have heart issues too? I see LA hearing the news and doing a Fred Sanford [video=youtube;stdi-1tIUhM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stdi-1tIUhM[/video]
