2024年10月8日 · Overview of Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) Syndrome. WPW Syndrome refers to the presence of a congenital accessory pathway (AP) and episodes of tachyarrhythmias. The term is often used interchangeablely with pre-excitation syndrome; First described in 1930 by Louis Wolff, John Parkinson and Paul Dudley White; Incidence is 0.1 – 3.0 per 1000

2015年6月29日 · Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) Syndrome. Described in 1930 by Wolff, Parkinson, and White as an ECG pattern found in young, otherwise healthy adults who experienced bouts of atrial fibrillation and atrial tachycardia; In 1932 Holzmann and Scherf proposed that the syndrome was due to an accessory pathway between the atria and ventricles

2023年8月7日 · Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a congenital cardiac preexcitation syndrome that arises from abnormal cardiac electrical conduction through an accessory pathway that can result in symptomatic and life-threatening arrhythmias.

2022年2月4日 · Symptomatic ECG AV re-entrant tachycardia or AF AVRT: the re-entry impulse usually travels down the AV node and back up the accessory pathway (delta wave not present), occasionally the re-entry impulse may pass down the accessory pathway and up the AV node (wide QRS tachycardia + delta wave)

2022年2月17日 · Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome affects 0.1-0.3% of the general population. 1 The characteristic electrocardiogram (ECG) features are (i) shortened PR interval (<120 ms), (ii) slurred QRS upstroke (delta wave), and …

Discover WPW Syndrome, including delta waves, EKG features, and Kent's bundle localization. Learn about Type A (left) and Type B (right) WPW pathways. ECG book.com

Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) pattern is characterized by ECG findings such as a short PR interval and a delta wave and wide QRS complex. WPW syndrome is the occurrence of tachycardia with or without associated symptoms in a subject with existing WPW pattern.

Classic (manifest) Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is due to an accessory atrioventricular connection that produces a prototypical ECG consisting of a short PR interval, a wide QRS complex with an initial slurred component (delta wave), and secondary repolarization changes in association with symptomatic reentrant (paroxysmal) supraventricular ta...

2022年1月26日 · Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a condition that predisposes to supraventricular tachycardia due to an accessory pathway in the heart. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome presents with characteristic ECG findings, which may be associated with tachyarrhythmias and clinical symptoms of tachycardia.

Shown below is an EKG of WPW syndrome type A demonstrating delta waves in precordial leads and limb leads II, III and aVF along with prominent R waves in leads V 1 and V 2 and Rsr pattern in lead V 1.
