Oct 1st, 2020 - Although successful ablation of the accessory pathway (AP) eliminates atrial fibrillation (AF) in some of patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome and paroxysmal AF, in other patients it can recur. Whether adding pulmonary vein isolation...

Aug 18th, 2020 - Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) is a congenital defect of the cardiac conduction system (CCS), with proliferation of extra embryologic conduction pathways and rapid conduction of electrical impulses. The estimated neonatal incidence of 0.1% to 0.2% ma...

Jul 29th, 2020 - Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are placed for patients with advanced heart failure or cardiogenic shock as destination therapy or as a bridge to cardiac transplantation. Significant complications associated with LVAD placement include blee...

Jul 18th, 2020 - Published algorithms for accessory pathway localization in Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome are inaccurate in pediatric patients, especially for septal pathways. We aimed to develop a new algorithm that is sensitive for septal pathways and mor...

Jul 13th, 2020 - Ablation of septal accessory pathways (SAPs) is associated with an increased risk of heart block. Data on outcomes of SAP ablation in adults are limited. To describe outcomes of SAP ablation in our center. Patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndr...

Oct 7th, 2020 - 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 advisable, a...

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.

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.

May 19th, 2011 - DENVER – When 606 outwardly healthy, normal high school students were screened in a Florida pilot study, 14% had borderline or abnormal ECGs, 14% were hypertensive, and 12% were obese. One student had Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, another left v.

Mar 21st, 2011 - Action Points Explain that screening healthy children with electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography could detect previously undiagnosed conditions that might lead to sudden cardiac arrest. Note that among the potentially serious abnormalitie...
