Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) Syndrome

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 syndrome was not discovered by a Dr. Wolff Parkinson White but by three doctors: Louis Wolff, Sir John Parkinson, and Paul Dudley White.

Symptoms--- Everybody almost now a days traveled in train and he can judge the speed of train similarly , the person who has that problem can experience same speed of his heart .When infants develop arrhythmias due to this syndrome, they may become short of breath or lethargic, stop eating well, or have rapid, visible pulsations of the chest. Heart failure may develop.

Typically, when teenagers or people in their early 20s first experience an arrhythmia due to this syndrome, it is an episode of palpitations that begins suddenly, often during exercise. The episode may last for only a few seconds or may persist for several hours. For most people, the very fast heart rate is uncomfortable and distressing. A few people faint.

In older people, episodes of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia due to Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome tend to produce more symptoms, such as fainting, shortness of breath, and chest pain.

Atrial Fibrillation and Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome: Atrial fibrillation may be particularly dangerous for people with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. The extra pathway can conduct the rapid impulses to the ventricles at a much faster rate than the normal pathway (through the atrioventricular node) can. The result is an extremely fast ventricular rate that may be life threatening. Not only is the heart very inefficient when it beats so rapidly, but this extremely fast heart rate may also progress to ventricular fibrillation, which is fatal unless treated immediately.

Diagnosis -- A simple ECG can show this problem but along with Docotor advices them to go for Electrocardiography . ECG shows two thing short pr-interval and delta wave see in picture above


iam here giving you two drugs name which are excellent work in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome but its my advice to everyone consult your doctor or cardiologist while taking any drug ,iam just witting here my experience , my blog does not advice any man/ women of the world to act according to my blog .This blog is only used for infomation , iam not adoctor who advice any one in this world .

Amiodrone works wounder in wpw syndrome 200 mg

Amiodarone-----Amiodarone was initially developed in 1961 at the Labaz company, Belgium, by chemists Tondeur and Binon. It became popular in Europe as a treatment for angina .Discovered in 1961, it was not approved for use in the United States until 1985. Amiodarone was initially developed in 1961 at the Labaz company, by chemists Tondeur and Binon. It became popular in Europe as a treatment for Angina pectoris.

Amiodarone is available in oral and intravenous formulations.

Orally, it is available under the trade names Pacerone (produced by Upsher-Smith Laboratories, Inc.) and Cordarone (produced by Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories) in 200 mg and 400 mg tablets; It is also available under the trade name of CARDRONE -X by Snofi-Aventies in india , Aratac (produced by Alphapharm Pty Ltd) in 100 mg and 200 mg tablets in Australia and New Zealand. Also Arycor in South Africa (Produced by Winthrop Pharmaceuticals.) in doses of 100 mg and 200 mg scored tablets. In South America, it is known as Atlansil and is produced by Roemmers . Second drug which cardiologistare perscribing is betacap 40tr made in by sum pharmaceuticals ltd in india salt name Propranolol is a non-selective beta blocker mainly used in the treatment of hypertension. It was the first successful beta blocker developed. It has been studied for the prophylaxis of migraines in children, but because of limited or inconsistent data, this is not an approved use in the US.

i try myself only Amiodrone not proanolol i met with two Cardiologist both are diifer in opnion in case of medicine given than i read day and night from cardic books and did email to many cardologist in this smart earth i choose amrodrone but i eat only once when i get trachycardia
In the absence of tachycardias, often no treatment is necessary.

When tachycardia is present, treatment is individualized and dependent upon the extent and frequency of the tachycardia and upon electrophysiologic studies. Sometimes, simply avoiding stress and caffeine may be helpful in preventing episodes of tachycardia.

In other cases, the physician will prescribe medication to stabilize heart rhythm. The medication may be taken only at the time of an attack or, more likely, on a continuing basis to prevent the development of supraventricular tachycardia.

If an attack cannot be controlled by medication, treatment with a brief electrical shock may be necessary to restore normal rhythm. If medication does not control the episodes of rapid rhythm, a technique called radiofrequency ablation may be used. It uses radiofrequency current, delivered via a catheter, to eliminate the abnormal pathway without surgery. Click here andRead here for more info

Synopsis - heart rhythm disturbances

Reentry mechanism in the WPW syndrome. • extrasystoles - supraventricular - ventricular • supraventricular tachycardia - With a narrow QRS complex (reentrant tachycardia) - with a wide QRS complex • Atrial flutter • Atrial Fibrillation - With tachyarrhythmia - With slow ventricular activity • Ventricular tachycardia • Ventricular fibrillation Synopsis - heart rhythm disturbances Heart rhythm disturbances, such as premature beats can occur in healthy and have no pathological significance. More often they are symptom or complication of heart disease with clinical significance and may be cause for a lethal disease (sudden death). With the exception of emergencies is the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias an electrocardiographic documentation and the clarification of a possible underlying disease. The electrocardiographic documentation of arrhythmias can occasionally occur even in the short-term ECG and succeed with immediate registration in the attack. The arrhythmia occurs only during exer

Biography of Louis Wolff, Sir John Parkinson, and Paul Dudley White.

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
