Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome

Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome-----------Definition
Commonly known under this term bouts of paroxysmal junctional tachycardia occurring
outside the Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome, and related to the existence of intranodal reentry circuit.
Etiology
In the vast majority of cases the disease is isolated Bouveret. It appears most often in patients
youth with a healthy heart.
Clinical translation
It is manifested by attacks of paroxysmal tachycardia
- Sudden onset (click print)
- Felt so unpleasant palpitations, anxiety, fatigue, chest pain
- Of varying duration: a few minutes to several hours. The end is abrupt, usually followed
a polyuric crisis.
The frequency of attacks varies greatly from one subject to another. All intermediate between a crisis
occurring every year or less and the occurrence of crises with multi-day impact mental
major. Generally seizure frequency increases with age. Emotional factors have a large
influence.
Electrocardiographic appearance
a) Outside of paroxysmal tachycardia of access, the electrocardiogram is normal.
b) During crises, the ECG shows (Fig. 2):
- Regular QRS complexes whose frequency is most often understood

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 syndr...

Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a condition where the heart ventricles become pre-excited. In the normal heart beat, first the sinoatrial (SA) node signals the atria of the the heart to contract, This is then followed by the atrioventricular (AV) node signalling the heart ventricles to contract. The electrical signal for this contraction travels from the SA node to the AV node via the electrical pathway of the bundle of his. In Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome another additional electrical pathway called the bundle of Kent allows for electrical signals to travel from the SA to the AV node. This will result in ventricular pre-excitation (the ventricles may become over stimulated) and paroxyomal reentrant tachycardia (raised heart rate). The above white arrows shows the abnormal, additional electrical activity pathway to the ventricles through the bundle of kent. In Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome the normal pathway of electrical activit...

Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrom(preexcitation syndrome; WPW)

On an ECG tracing, a delta wave is usually an unexpected finding. In the QRS complex, the Delta wave takes the place of the Q wave. In the graphic below you can see the difference between the tracing from normal sinus rhythm and a heartbeat tracing that includes a Delta wave. You may also notice that the PR segment (the portion of the tracing along the baseline, between the depolarization of the atria (P wave) and the beginning of the depolarization of the ventricles (QRS complex)) is missing. This happens because the electrical signal from the atria is being conducted to the ventricles immediately after atrial contraction, carried along an anomalous accessory pathway called the Bundle of Kent instead of through the AV node, which delays signal conduction to allow the ventricles to fill with blood before contraction. This produces Wolff Parkinson White (WPW) syndrome, which may be asymptomatic for a person’s entire life, but it also has the potential for initiating dangerous, rapi...
