5. What are the risks assoicated with these treatments?
   
   
6. Is it possible that my condition will resolve on its own and not need treatment?
   
   
7. Will I need to take medications even if I undergo ablation?
   
   
8. Are there any lifestyle changes I can make that might improve my condition?    
   
   
9. Do I have any restricitions due to WPW?
   
   
10. Do I have any other heart conditions in addition to WPW syndrome?
    
    
11. If I do require catheter ablation, how successful do you expect the procedure to be?
    
    
12. How will my condition be monitored during my life?
