Chances are very good. It is too long of a "spiel" to type here. Make an appointment with a cardiologist (particular a cardiac electrophysiologist / EP subspecialty).

Basically, it is an extra connection between the top of your heart and bottom that predisposes to arrhythmias. In order to preserve your license you need to have a doctor demonstrate that you are at low risk of arrhythmias, either through some sort of testing or full ablation (like RVFlier describes.) Once ablation is done you are "cured" and have no elevated risk of arrhythmia compared to anybody else.
