Jun 4th, 2020 - Abrupt loss of ventricular pre-excitation on non-invasive evaluation, or non-persistent pre-excitation, in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) is thought to indicate a low risk of life-threatening events. To compare accessory pathway (AP) charact...

May 7th, 2020 - Right free wall accessory pathways (AP) are difficult to treat with catheter ablation as ablation catheter (AC) instability at the tricuspid annulus often precludes successful procedure. The aim of our study was to test a novel intra-cardiac echoc...

Apr 1st, 2020 - Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a relatively common arrhythmia affecting ~1-3/1,000 individuals. Mutations in PRKAG2 have been described in rare patients in association with cardiomyopathy. However, the genetic basis of WPW in individuals ...

Mar 23rd, 2020 - In contrast to adults, in whom cardiac rhythm disorders are mainly conditioned by coronary artery disease, in children, arrhythmias are most often associated with inherited heart disorders. Catheter ablation (CA) has an important role in the manag...

Mar 1st, 2020 - Cardiac arrhythmias, notably Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, are known to represent a major issue in patients with Ebstein's malformation of the tricuspid valve. Abnormal conducting circuits, however, can also be produced by pathways extending eit...

Apr 5th, 2020 - Intravenous adenosine injection is indicated for the following: Conversion to sinus rhythm of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), including that associated with accessory bypass tracts (Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome). When clinically ...

Mar 30th, 2014 - More Patients With Wolff-Parkinson-White Bernard J Gersh, MBChB, DPhil: This is Bernard Gersh from the Mayo Clinic, and with me today is Dr Bryan Cannon, who is associate professor of pediatrics and director of pediatric and congenital heart elect...

Apr 1st, 2013 - A 19-year-old woman with no significant cardiac or pulmonary history presented with exertional dyspnea, which had begun a few months earlier. Auscultation revealed a loud pulmonary component of the second heart sound and a diastolic murmur heard a.

May 16th, 2012 - BOSTON – Although it ranks behind hypertrophic cardiomyopathy as a cause of sudden cardiac death in children and young adults, the Wolff-Parkinson-White electrocardiogram pattern warrants monitoring and, in some cases, intervention, according to a.

May 13th, 2012 - May 14, 2012 (Boston, Massachusetts) — A "first-of-its-kind" consensus statement on the management of asymptomatic patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome should help clarify which young people should undergo catheter ablation, authors ...

Mar 21st, 2012 - ANSWER 
The ECG shows a sinus rhythm with a sinus arrhythmia and a short PR interval with ventricular pre-excitation, consistent with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Ventricular pre-excitation occurs when conduction proceeds from the atria to the.
