I just had cardiac ablation what are my chances of getting a military commision?

I had a cardiac ablation one week ago to stop an arrythmia that I had. The arrythmia is supposed to be gone/cured now. What are my chances of becoming an officer in the army? I am a nurse so I am hoping for a waiver. Anybody out there go through this?

to my knowledge any heart problem period past or present is a no-go . but if the army lets you in, go enlisted you will actully get to do your job instead of on your back with your ankles behind your ears .
