Key Points about Wolff-Parkinson White Syndrome:
- Definition: Wolff-Parkinson White Syndrome is characterized by the presence of an accessory electrical pathway in the heart, leading to episodes of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT).
- Causes: The condition arises due to an extra electrical pathway (accessory pathway) that bypasses the normal heart conduction system.
- Symptoms: Patients may experience palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, and episodes of tachycardia.
- Diagnosis: WPW is typically diagnosed through an ECG, showing characteristic features such as a short PR interval and delta waves.
- Management: Treatment options include medications to control heart rate and rhythm, and catheter ablation to eliminate the accessory pathway.
- Complications: If untreated, WPW may lead to more severe arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation or sudden cardiac death in rare cases.
