چکیده
Forty-nine patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, ages 7 weeks to 51 years, were studied with isopotential body surface maps during normal sinus rhythm, atrial pacing or induced atrial fibrillation. The location of the accessory pathway was determined by multicather electrophysiologic study or surgical ablation of the accessory pathway. When fusion was minimized and ventricular activation primaiily controlled by a single accessory pathway, the distribution of positive and negative potentials on the anterior and posterior torso during QRS (observed at 40 msec) aiid the ST segment were an excellent index of the location of the site of the accessory pathway. The relationship between a specific sequence of QRS-T wave body surface maps and a specific preexcitation site was similar from patient to patient in the presence of marked differences in age, size, and different cardiac status due to structural congenitil cardiac defects. The localization.of the site of the accessory pathway using distributions too early in QRS (before 40 msec) was unreliable because the early distributions varied from patient to patient for the same preexcitition site; however, the potential distributions during the ST segment were both stable and consistent from patient to patient for the

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...
متن کاملCardiac involvement (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome) in tuberous sclerosis.
A surface electrocardiogram showing type B Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome pattern was part of the cardiac findings in a female of 24 with florid features of tuberous sclerosis. She had cardiomegaly but no intracardiac tumour was demonstrated. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, though rare, has previously been described in association with tuberous sclerosis in children but not before in adults.

INTRODUCTION Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is one of the most important disorders of the heart conduction system. It is caused by the presence of an abnormal accessory electrical conduction pathway between the atria and the ventricles. CASE PRESENTATION In the present report, we describe the correct oral health management of a 12-year-old Caucasian girl with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. ...

Two patients with a history of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia but no evidence of the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in the conventional electrocardiograms were studied utilizing atrial and ventricular extrastimuli. The evidence obtained in these patients was consistent with a concealed Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. In one patient,, ventricular extrastimuli revealed three different re...

The induction of ventricular tachycardia by ventricular stimulation was investigated in 46 patients with isolated Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (10 concealed) and 36 control patients with normal electrocardiograms and conduction systems. None of those studied had spontaneous ventricular arrhythmias or myocardial or valve disease. Single and double ventricular extrastimuli were delivered at 3 c...
