The Wolff Parkinson White syndrome is a rare heart disease that includesin preexcitation syndromes can present with characteristic ECG and cardiac arrhythmias.
Search for information in different libraries and newspaper archives as well as sites by examining the clinical diagnostic ancillary studies, trying to differentiate between different types of patients at low or high stratifying risk to determine what treatment is advised in each case and the benefits and disadvantages of each.

INTRODUCTION
WOLFF PARKINSON syndrome
White (WPW) is the most common of the preexcitation syndromes was studied by
Drs Louis Wolf, John Parkinson and Paul
Dudley White in 1930
(1)
It is a congenital heart abnormality
is the presence of an anomalous beam
(Bundle of Kent) that bypasses the normal system
directly connecting atria and conduction
ventricles. In this syndrome in which the ventricles are activated, in addition to the atrioventricular node (NAV) by an anomalous pathway
driving faster than the normal driving system
(2).
The prevalence of
This syndrome is between 0.1 and 0.3% in the
general population
(3),
with an incidence of 2-1 in
men to women
(2).
95% of cases no associated heart disease but may do to other
congenital abnormalities such as disease
Ebstein, mitral valve prolapse, tuberous sclerosis, Brugada syndrome
(4),
and the rare
association with agenesis of the inferior vena cava
(5).
It can affect patients of all
ages from fetuses and infants up to
the elderly and also
identical twins
(6)
, 80 -90% of cases are detected in children under 50 years
(2).
The risk of sudden death from this disease
is 0.6 - 1.5%. 25% of them occur as a first manifestation of the syndrome. In young people the risk is 3.6%
appearing as the first manifestation in
40% of cases
(1).
The syndrome may occur as
isolated or appear in both members of a
same family, the latter form of presentation is called familial or inherited.
It is an autosomal dominant disorder
7q34-q36 gene coding for the subunit
Activated protein kinase cyclic amp (PRKAG2)
where the mutation is the substitution resulting
glutamine for arginine at residue 302,
protein
(7).
Objectives: The aim of this review
literature consists in selecting patients with WPW syndrome that
are candidates for drug treatment
or radiofrequency catheter ablation
, Highlighting the most effective treatment, safe
convenient and cost benefit
each patient.

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...
