Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome; Other names: WPW pattern, Ventricular pre-excitation with arrhythmia, auriculoventricular accessory pathway syndrome [1] [2] Conduction through the accessory pathway results in a delta wave. A characteristic "delta wave" (arrow) seen in a person with Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome. Note the short PR ...
This WPW pattern doesn’t typically cause any symptoms and it’s relatively benign. In some cases, however, this pattern can facilitate certain arrhythmias, or basically make certain arrhythmias more severe and potentially even cause sudden cardiac death, in which case it would be called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
12 lead electrocardiogram of an individual with Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome exhibiting 'slurred upstrokes' or 'delta waves' before the QRS complexes. An episode of SVT may present with palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, or losing consciousness (fainting). The electrocardiogram (ECG) would appear as a narrow-complex SVT.
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) is a relatively common abnormality with an accessory pathway, the bundle of Kent crossing the AV valvular ring. [21] In orthodromic AVRT, atrial impulses are conducted down through the AV node and retrogradely re-enter the atrium via the accessory pathway.
The combination of an accessory pathway that causes pre-excitation with arrhythmias is known as Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome. [2] Accessory pathways are often diagnosed using an electrocardiogram, but characterisation and location of the pathway may require an electrophysiological study.
Lown–Ganong–Levine syndrome is a clinical diagnosis that came about before the advent of electrophysiology studies. It is important to be aware that not all WPW ECGs have a delta wave; the absence of a delta wave does not conclusively rule out WPW. [citation needed]
English: What is Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW)? WPW is a type of arrhythmia involving an accessory pathway called the bundle of Kent, which allows electrical communication between the atria and ventricles. WPW pattern describes when there are no associated symptoms, and WPW syndrome describes when there are associated arrhythmias and ...
