Three types of WpW syndromes

Like you remember, duration of PR interval reflects the time required to reach the stimulus from the sinus node to the ventricles, and typically lasts from 0.12 to 0.20 seconds, therefore, is not less than 0.12 seconds.

In the pre-excitation syndromes time atrioventricular conduction is lower than under physiological conditions, because the stimulus travels through alternate routes, which avoid abnormal physiological delay in the atrioventricular node.

It is three types of syndromes:

Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) is characterized by:
A short PR, less than 0.12 seconds.
QRS complexes starting with a delta wave (initial slurring at the base of the QRS upline. This delta wave positive or negative is plotted according to the location of the beam pathological and electrocardiographic lead.
The beam is the beam pathological Kent.
There are three types of routes: on the back, right anterolateral or anterolateral left, which, speaking of WPW syndrome type A, type B or type C.
Lown-Ganong-Levine (LGL) is characterized by:
A short PR, less than 0.12 seconds.
The beam is the beam pathological James (originating in the atria and ends at the tail of the atrioventricular node or the beginning of the bundle of His. Therefore, sinus stimulation can quickly this way anomalous to the Bundle of His, atrioventricular node jumping and avoiding physiological conduction delay at this level.
No delta wave (because the excitation reaches the ventricles through the physiological pathways of intraventricular conduction, the Bundle of His and its branches).
QRS complex of normal appearance.
Pre-excitation syndrome Mahaim type: characterized by:
The beam is a beam Mahaim disease that originates in the low or AB node Bundle of His and usually ends in the interventricular septum.
A normal-length PR.
Presence of delta in the initial phase of the QRS complex (because the stimulus comes from the new sinus enters the AV node where physiological suffers delay and then depolarized to the ventricles via the bundle of Mahaim.

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...

Bundle of kent

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...
