conduction system, the heart, preexcitation syndrome, wpw, wolff-parkinson-white syndrome involves episodes of rapid heart rate, tachycardia, baseline abnormal ecg, abnormal electrical pathways, circuits, heart, electrical signals, in the heart go through the atrioventricular, av, node, the pathway connecting the two top chambers, the heart, atria, two bottom chambers, ventricles, wolff-parkinson-white syndrome, an extra, accessory, av pathway, this leads to "re-entry supraventricular tachycardia", a rapid heart rate initiated, above the ventricles, location, the extra electrical pathway in wolff-parkinson-white, precisely identified, wolff-parkinson-white occurs is one, the most common causes, fast heart rate disorders, tachyarrhymthmias, in infants, children, how often the rapid heart rate occurs depends on the patient, wolff-parkinson-white, have just a few episodes of rapid heart rate, experience the rapid heart rate once, twice a week, the patient has no symptoms, in this case, the extra pathway is often found, a doctor has requested an ecg, other purpose, wpw syndrome, palpitations, a sensation of feeling heart beat, light-headedness, fainting, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, chest tightness, an exam performed, a tachycardia episode will reveal a heart rate greater than 150, normal is 60 to 100 beats per minute, blood pressure that is normal, if the patient is currently not having tachycardia, physical exam completely normal, wolff-parkinson-white syndrome revealed by the following tests, ecg, electrocardiogram, looks, finding, a "delta wave", continuous ambulatory monitoring, holter monitor, record an episode of arrhythmia, eps, an intracardiac electrophysiologic study, goal of treatment, reduce symptoms by reducing the episodes of tachycardia, rapid heart rate, control, prevent rapid heart beating, adenosine, antiarrhythmics, amiodarone, digoxin, verapamil, beta-blockers, drugs commonly, treat tachycardia, increase the frequency of tachycardia episodes, people, wolff-parkinson-white, treatments to stop a persistent episode of tachycardia, electrical cardioversion, shock, catheter ablation, a special type of energy, radiofrequency, destroys the accessory pathway using a catheter, tube, inserted, body to reach the heart, surgery, provide a permanent cure, wolff-parkinson-white, involves ablation, destruction, the accessory pathway using open heart surgery, surgery a good approach to cure symptomatic wolff-parkinson-white syndrome, only done patient must undergo surgery, reasons, using a catheter to deliver radiofrequency waves to destroy the abnormal pathway, cures wolff-parkinson-white, currently the preferred therapeutic approach to treat wolff-parkinson-white syndrome, , reduced blood pressure, sustained rapid heart rate, most severe form of tachyarrhythmia is atrial fibrillation, rapidly lead to shock, emergency treatment, cardioversion, heart failure, side effects of medications, treat wolff-parkinson-white, the specific medication, complications of surgery, symptoms indicating wolff-parkinson-white develop, symptoms worsen, not improve, treatment.
