Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrom

Background http://spermup.blogspot.com/ In 1930, Wolff, Parkinson, and White described a series of young patients who had a bundle branch block pattern on electrocardiography (ECG) findings, a short PR interval, and paroxysms of tachycardia. Case reports began appearing in the literature in the late 1930s and early 1940s, and the term Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome was coined in 1940. In 1943, the existence of an accessory connection between atria and ventricles was confirmed, which is about 50 years after Kent's description of myocardial fibers that were believed to conduct from atria to ventricle. The term preexcitation was first published by Ohnell in 1944 (the same year that the term delta wave was coined); Ohnell stated, "preexcitation indicates an additional excitatory spread in the ventricles of the heart, coupled to auricular excitation." WPW syndrome is not the only form of preexcitation but is the most common. The first surgical ...

Exams and Tests http://spermup.blogspot.com/ An exam performed during a tachycardia episode will reveal a heart rate greater than 230 beats per minute and blood pressure that is normal or low. A normal heart rate is 60 - 100 beats per minute in adults, and under 150 beats per minute in neonates, infants, and small children. If the patient is currently not having tachycardia, the physical exam may be completely normal. A test called EPS may help identify the location of the extra electrical pathway. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome may be revealed by the following tests: * ECG (electrocardiogram) may show an abnormality called a "delta" wave. * Continuous ambulatory monitoring (Holter monitor) Treatment Medication may be used to control or prevent rapid heart beating. These include adenosine, antiarrhythmics, and amiodarone. If the heart rate does not return to normal with medication, doctors may use a type of therapy called electrical cardioversion (shock). The current ...

According to the Knight-Ridder News Service, the inscription on the metal bands used by the U.S. Department of the Interior to tag migratory birds has been changed.

Surv." until the agency received the following letter from an Arkansas camper: "Dear Sirs: While camping last week I shot one of your birds. I think it was a crow. I followed the cooking instructions on the leg tag and I want to tell you it was horrible." 2.

Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome affects 1 to 3 in 1,000 people worldwide. Only a small fraction of these cases appear to run in families. Many cases were found in UK and in Boston after world war 2 . India ,Pakistan and europe is the has reported very less cases as per the data get from cardic books , Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a common cause of an arrhythmia known as paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is the most frequent cause of this abnormal heart rhythm in the Chinese population, where it is responsible for more than 70 percent of cases. Prkag2-gene--The official name of this gene is “protein kinase, AMP-activated, gamma 2 non-catalytic subunit. Where is the PRKAG2 gene located? Cytogenetic Location: 7q36.1 Molecular Location on chromosome 7: base pairs 151,253,199 to 151,574,315 http://spermup.blogspot.com/ The PRKAG2 gene is located on the long (q) arm of CHROMOSOME 7 at position 36.1. More precisely, the PRKAG2 gene is l...

Myself Atul kapoor from India Few days back i get tachycardia and my blood pressure was low it was 90/70 my brain singles me something wrong with my heart i went to M.d doctor he diagnosed me Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) Syndrome. iam going to tell everyone who needs info for wpw syndrome in future is it dangerous or not and what will happen and what will a man /women do in this cases iam going to put here my ECG AND ECO Report here. http://spermup.blogspot.com/ Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) Syndrome------Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a disorder in which an extra electrical connection between the atria and the ventricles is present at birth. People may have episodes of a very rapid heartbeat. Most people have palpitations, and some feel weak or short of breath. Electrocardiography (ECG) is used to make the diagnosis.Usually, episodes can be stopped by maneuvers that stimulate the vagus nerve, which slows the heart rate. Wolff-Parkinson-White is written with hyphens because the syndr...

John Parkinson attended University College, London, and subsequently trained in medicine at the University of Freiburg and the London Hospital. He qualified 1907 and obtained a doctorate in 1910. In the early part of his career Parkinson was an assistant to Sir James Mackenzie's (1853-1925) assistant in the department of cardiology at the London Hospital. During World War I he served with the Royal Army Medical Corps, and by 1917 he had achieved the rank of major, and he commanded a military heart centre in Rouen. After the war Parkinson returned to the London Hospital, where he became in charge of the cardiac department. Here he was eventually appointed to the consulting staff, a and he was also appointed to the consulting staff of the National Heart hospital, London. From 1931 to 1956 he was a civilian cardiologist to the Royal Air Force. http://spermup.blogspot.com/ In 1948 Parkinson was knighted by King George. The first European Congress of Cardiology was held in London in Se...
