MODELING OF WOLFF–PARKINSON–WHITE SYNDROME
International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2003Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome is a disease where an arrhythmia is caused by the ventricles being electrically excited by an additional accessory pathway that links the atria to the ventricles. The spread of the activation wave from this pathway to the ventricles is modeled using a simplified model of Hodgkin–Huxley sodium channel kinetics, in a two ...

Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome in Athletes
Current Sports Medicine Reports, 2006Introduction Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a congenital abnormality that involves an accessory pathway between the atria and the ventricles in addition to the normal atrioventricular node-His pathway. This extra pathway can conduct electrical impulses to the ventricles more quickly and can cause pre-excitation arrhythmias to occur [1].

Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome
Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing, 1990Some patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome have potentially life-threatening arrhythmias. Symptomatic WPW is associated with tachycardias that are supraventricular in origin. Discharge teaching after surgical correction of WPW is critical to restoring the patient's previous life-style.

History of Wolff‐Parkinson‐White Syndrome
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2005While Drs. Wolff, Parkinson, and White fully described the syndrome that bears their names in 1930, prior case reports had already described the essentials. Over the ensuing century this syndrome has captivated the interest of anatomists, clinical cardiologists, and cardiac surgeons.

Arrhythmias in the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 1966Summary The incidence of the WPW anomaly in adults ranges from 0.1 to 3.1 per thousand and in children from 0.77 to 4.8 per thousand. Acquired heart disease as well as many congenital cardiac defects are associated with the WPW anomaly. Sixty to 70 per cent of patients demonstrating this pattern are males.

THE WOLFF-PARKINSON-WHITE SYNDROME IN AN INFANT
Pediatrics, 1948A case of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in an infant 4½ months of age with electrocardiographic findings suggestive of several congenital accessory conduction pathways is presented. The age of the patient and the findings lend support to the hypothesis that this syndrome is congenital in origin.

The Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in childhood
International Journal of Cardiology, 1990The Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome belongs to the group of conduction anomalies characterized by preexcitation. Preexcitation itself can be defined as the condition in which the whole or some parts of the ventricular muscle is activated earlier by a supraventricular impulse than would be expected if the impulse reached the ventricles by way of the ...

Latent Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
American Heart Journal, 1953Abstract Two cases are presented which show presumptive evidence that the mechanism producing the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome may lie dormant for considerable periods of time. The observations reported may be of importance in ultimately explaining this phenomenon.

Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome
Drugs, 1992Patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) pattern of ventricular pre-excitation may develop paroxysmal re-entrant tachyarrhythmias through the Kent bundle and, less commonly, atrial fibrillation. WPW patients are at risk of sudden death when a rapid ventricular response occurs during atrial fibrillation due to conduction through the accessory pathway ...
