The Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome

Postgraduate Medicine, 1973
Typical cases of ventricular preexcitation by conduction through an accessory pathway are easily recognized on electrocardiograms, but atypical cases require electrophysiologic studies. Recent investigations cast doubt on the long-held assumption that Kent bundles invariably form the accessory pathway.

Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 1999
In patients with the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, atrial fibrillation can be lethal. Longitudinal natural history studies suggest that these patients have a lifetime risk of sudden death of about 4%. Although this risk is relatively low, the combination of this risk and the morbidity associated with recurrent cardiac arrhythmias has justified the ...

The Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1969
Excerpt In a very real sense one may look on the Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome as the Rosetta stone of electrocardiography, since a full understanding of all its features and their possible ...

Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome in Infants

Neonatal Network, 2010
Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a ventricular preexcitation that presents as supraventricular tachycardia. Health care professionals can attain optimal results in caring for infants with WPW syndrome by understanding both its pathophysiology and proper management to prevent and treat complications associated with it.

Familial Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome

Journal of Electrocardiology, 1982
Familial occurrence of Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is uncommon and to date only seven instances have been documented in the literature. We describe another unusual family in which the proband, his father and two of his five brothers (including one who died suddenly) showed WPW conduction.

Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in the neonate

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1978
Of 16 infants who presented with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in the neonatal period, 50 percent had an electrocardiographic pattern consistent with Wolff-Parkinson-White conduction, type A. It is suggested that infants have bypass pathways similar to or identical with a Kent pathway as part of normal maturation.

The Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome

New England Journal of Medicine, 1946
TO THOSE with extensive electrocardiographic experience, especially if it includes a large proportion of young adults, the finding of the pattern of a short PR interval and a prolonged QRS complex comes as no great surprise. That it is not a rare occurrence, as might be concluded from the many papers in the literature reporting one or two cases, needs ...

WOLFF-PARKINSON-WHITE SYNDROME IN AN INFANT

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1952
The syndrome characterized by paroxysms of auricular tachycardia, fibrillation, or flutter in association with the electrocardiographic picture of a short P-R interval and a prolonged QRS interval as seen in healthy adults was described in 1930 by Wolff, Parkinson, and White. 1 The electrocardiographic findings had been noted first by Wilson 2 in 1915,

THE PROGNOSIS OF THE WOLFF-PARKINSON-WHITE SYNDROME

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1947
Excerpt Many authors, including Wolff, Parkinson and White,1consider the prognosis of the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (characterized by White et al.1essentially as: (1) a short P-R interval, (2)...
