Asymptomatic Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome: is it time to revisit guidelines?
Current guidelines (1) and expert opinion (2) do not recommend routine electrophysiologic (EP) study in patients with asymptomatic Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. Patients who engage in “high-risk” occupations or those patients in whom a pre-excitation pattern precludes them from following their chosen career may be exceptions. In this issue of the Journal, Pappone et al. (3) report the r...
متن کاملDyssynchronous Ventricular Activation in Asymptomatic Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome: A Risk Factor for Development of Dilated Cardiomyopathy
A subset of children and adults with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome develop dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Although DCM may occur in symptomatic WPW patients with sustained tachyarrhythmias, emerging evidence suggests that significant left ventricular dysfunction may arise in WPW in the absence of incessant tachyarrhythmias. An invariable electrophysiological feature in this non-tachyarrhy...
متن کاملWolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome in a Young Man
A 29-year-old man presents with a recent episode of light-headedness of sudden onset.

He also denies chest pain, dyspnea, palpitations, and diaphoresis; he is currently asymptomatic. HISTORY The patient had a similar episode 2 years earlier for which he did not seek medical ...
متن کاملOn the need for a universal prospective ECG database.
Wolf-Parkinson-White (WPW) is one of the few clinical diseases that is mainly diagnosed by the ECG. One of the ultimate goals of modern medicine is to find a method to prevent disease. One of the best examples is catheter ablation of the accessory tracts in patients with WPW that will prevent tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD) in 95% of the patients. In patients with WPW, catheter ...
متن کاملVentricular pre-excitation in the general population: a study on the mode of presentation and clinical course.
OBJECTIVE To describe the mode of presentation and the clinical course of patients with ventricular pre-excitation (Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome), with special emphasis on asymptomatic cases in the general population. METHODS Over an eight year period (1990-97) a prospective population based survey of cases with WPW pattern was conducted in a defined population in north west Greece (3...
