The Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1969Excerpt 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 ...

THE PROGNOSIS OF THE WOLFF-PARKINSON-WHITE SYNDROME
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1947Excerpt 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)...

WOLFF-PARKINSON-WHITE SYNDROME IN AN INFANT
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1952The 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 Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome
New England Journal of Medicine, 1946TO 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 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].

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 ...

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 ...

Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in the neonate
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1978Of 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.

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.

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.
