Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome with PSVT.



Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome with PSVT.
Female 47 years old, with a shake of the EKG to see. After the second treatment is the idea that the reason for the shake of the EKG is the first of what And the treatment here?

Ecg 1


Ecg 2




The EKG is the first one with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT).
After the treatment a second time for delivery. Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome.

Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a congenital anomaly.
This occurs because the electrical signal from atrium is transmitted to the ventricle through the accessory pathway (which is the accessory pathway is the Bundle of Kent or the Kent Bundle in WPW syndrome) and the AV node, but the signal will not be delayed in the accessory pathway that. electrical signal through the accessory pathway to the ventricle and stimulating. depolarization of the ventricle slowly (ventricular preexcitation) before the signal from the AV node to reach on the ECG is an important characteristic of the QRS complex, the larger the delta wave occurs because the electrical signal into the ventricle by accessory pathway does not. Purkinje fibers, making the signal more slowly, so the QRS complex is wider than normal. The main problem in patients with WPW syndrome is an electrical signal from the accessory pathway can also return to the atrium through the AV node and cause antidromic AV reentrant tachycardia in patients with this condition, heart rate, 150-250. per minute in patients with WPW may be fatal if cardiac arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation or flutter in conjunction with the adoption of the electrical signal from atrium to ventricle will not be delayed or accessory pathway to the electrical signals pass. ventricle and the rapid increase of the compression of the ventricle is very high throughout life threatening.
Treatment
- Patients with no symptoms will be evaluated periodically, Radiofrequency (RF) ablation as first-line treatment in patients with symptoms. The drug is used in the case of RF ablation have not been made or the patient refuses to do, and patients may have severe complications from the RF ablation.
- Drug Ic and class III antiarrhythmic. The slow down in the accessory pathway, which inhibits the occurrence of PSVT. But if the patient has a history of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter was associated with AV nodal blocking drugs should be used.
- The digoxin is contraindicated in patients with WPW syndrome because of the WPW. death syndrome. Most are related to the use of digoxin.

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...

Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome

What are the other Names for this Condition? (Also known as/Synonyms) Preexcitation Syndrome WPW Syndrome  What is Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome? (Definition/Background Information) Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (or WPW Syndrome) is a congenital condition that affects the heart. The condition arises due to a disruption in the process of how the message (signal that causes the heart to beat) gets passed within the heart As a result of this condition, the heart beats faster than normal, since the condition changes the normal physiology of the heart The heart is composed of three segments that make up the electrical system, which is how the information gets transferred. These segments include the sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node, and His Purkinje system The sinoatrial node is the most important segment of the 3, whose function is to initiate the signal The atrioventricular node allows the signal that is produced by the sinoatrial node to be distributed to ...

What is Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome? Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a condition characterized by abnormal electrical pathways in the heart that cause a disruption of the heart's normal rhythm (arrhythmia). The heartbeat is controlled by electrical signals that move through the heart in a highly coordinated way. A specialized cluster of cells called the atrioventricular node conducts electrical impulses from the heart's upper chambers (the atria) to the lower chambers (the ventricles). Impulses move through the atrioventricular node during each heartbeat, stimulating the ventricles to contract slightly later than the atria. People with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome are born with an extra connection in the heart, called an accessory pathway, that allows electrical signals to bypass the atrioventricular node and move from the atria to the ventricles faster than usual. The accessory pathway may also transmit electrical impulses abnormally from the ventricles back to the atri...
