WPW syndrome: information, treatment and treatment

Wolf-Parkinson-White Syndrome

The WPW syndrome is a line fault in the heart. Normally, the atria (atrium / atria collect the blood from the body and lungs = right atrium = left atrium before it is pumped into the chambers and from there into the body) electrically from the chambers (ventricles) are separated. Only a small connection exists to the stimulus of the ventricular contraction (tension) of the atrial chamber to pass. Part of this compound is the AV node. It regulates the passage of electrical impulses. If there is a very rapid atrial rhythm (atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation), then the AV node regulates this by having each only 2-4. Pulse to the chamber passes, thereby preventing ventricular fibrillation.

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...

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...
