Studies in a newborn infant with supraventricular tachycardia and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A neonatal patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White type A and supraventricular tachycardia is described. Demonstration of the mechanism of the tachycardia and its termination were achieved using intracardiac electrography and cardiac pacing. Quantitative left ventricular angiography and echocardiography showed impaired left ventricular function following the arrhythmia. Serial echocardiograms demonstrated the subsequent return to normal left ventricular performance.

Sixty-two infants and children with the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) were under long-term follow-up at The New York Hospital over a 20-year period. Twenty had associated congenital heart disease. In 29 infants and 6 children in hospitalfor paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, digitalis relieved the episodes in all but one instance and prevented further recurrences in all but 4. One ...

A case of atrioventricular reciprocal rhythm and chronic reciprocating tachycardia in a newborn infant is presented. Electrophysiological studies suggest that these rhythm disturbances are related to the presence of a right-sided atrioventricular accessory pathway capable only of retrograde conduction (concealed Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome). The technique of recording the sequence of atrial ...
