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.

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...
