Congenital and surgically acquired Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in patients with tricuspid atresia [PDF]
ObjectivesThere are reports associating an increased incidence of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome with tricuspid atresia. Here we report on electrophysiologic studies in patients with tricuspid atresia and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome after the Fontan ...

Identification of a gene responsible for familial Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
BACKGROUND The Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, with a prevalence in Western countries of 1.5 to 3.1 per 1000 persons, causes considerable morbidity and may cause sudden death.

Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome [PDF]
Recent developments in the field of electrophysiology and surgical therapy in selected cases of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (W-P-W) support the concept of anomalous A-V pathways. Impulse transmission usually occurs simultaneously through both the normal and anomalous pathways resulting in a fusion QRS complex.

Surgical correction of the wolff-parkinson-white syndrome in the closed heart using cryosurgery: A simplified approach [PDF]
The conventional operation for ablation of accessory atrioventricular (AV) pathways in the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome requires an endocardial approach to the AV groove and necessitates the use of cardiopulmonary bypass and induced cardiac arrest. The

BACKGROUND We conducted this study to determine the feasibility of an abbreviated therapeutic approach to the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome or paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, in which the diagnosis is established and radiofrequency ablation ...

Atrial fibrillation in patients with an accessory pathway: Importance of the conduction properties of the accessory pathway [PDF]
To investigate how the electrophysiologic properties of the accessory pathway affect the occurrence of atrial fibrillation in the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, programmed stimulation data of 57 patients with overt pre-excitation and 33 patients with a ...

Blocking effect of verapamil on conduction over a catecholamine-sensitive bypass tract in exercise-induced Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome [PDF]
By intravenous administration of isoproterenol, 0.5 μg/min, a catecholamine-sensitive bypass tract was confirmed in two patients with exercise-induced Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome Mimics a Conduction Disease
Background. It is important to recognise Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome in electrocardiograms (ECG), as it may mimic ischaemic heart disease, ventricular hypertrophy, and bundle branch block. Recognising WPW syndrome allows for risk stratification,

Comparison of the ventricular response during atrial fibrillation in patients with enhanced atrioventricular node conduction and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome [PDF]
Although ventricular fibrillation is a well known sequel to atrial fibrillation in the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, ventricular fibrillation is not generally associated with supraventricular tachycardia in the presence of enhanced atrioventricular (AV)

Perioperative Management in a Patient with WPW Syndrome undergoing Plastic Surgery.
Perioperative management of patients with preexcitation may become quite challenging, especially if there is no time for adequate preoperative investigation and clinical optimisation, as in emergencies, or even worse, in undiagnosed cases.
