Early and late results of surgery for Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

Radiofrequency catheter ablation in the treatment of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome

Introduction: Tachyarrhythmias in Wolf Parkinson White (WPW) syndrome, can be a life threatening factor. Antiarrhythmic drug therapy in this syndrome, has not been completely acceptable. Efficacy, safety and economy of Radio Frequency Catheter Ablation (RFCA) in western studies, has made it as the treatment of choice. In the present study, efficacy of RFCA in the ablation of accessory pathway...

Genetic contribution to white matter hyperintensity burden in early- and late-onset ischemic stroke patients

Diazoxide for the treatment of hypoglycaemic dumping syndrome.

Dumping syndrome is a commonly recognized complication after gastric and oesophageal surgery. It is characterized by postprandial early gastrointestinal and vasomotor symptoms followed by late hypoglycaemia. Early dumping symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, flushing, tachycardia and hypotension. Late dumping symptoms which occur 1–3 h after food are thought to be due to...

Rapid recovery from congestive heart failure following successful radiofrequency catheter ablation in a patient with late onset of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

A 56-year-old man was admitted because of palpitations and dyspnea. A 12-lead electrocardiogram showed irregular wide QRS complex tachycardia with a slur at the initial portion of the QRS complex. He had preexisting long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation, but early excitation syndrome had never been noted. Chest X-ray showed heart enlargement and pulmonary congestion. He was diagnosed wit...

Electrocardiographic features of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is not uncommon in the emergency department. Its early recognition and initial treatment allows rapid restoration to sinus rhythm. Prompt referral to cardiology is essential for risk stratification through electrophysiological studies.
