Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome and Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis: an Uncommon Coincidence that can Cause Severe Hemodynamic Disturbance
The combination of rheumatic mitral stenosis and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a rare situation. In this case, we are reporting an 72-year-old man presenting with multi-organ failure due to the this combination and successfully treated with radiofrequency ablation during preexcitated atrial fibrillation.
متن کاملWolff-Parkinson-White syndrome: atrial fibrillation as the presenting arrhythmia.
Atrial fibrillation was identified as the initial arrhythmia complicating the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in ten (9%) of 108 patients. Despite initially rapid ventricular responses in seven, long term survival and control of arrhythmia were excellent on medical treatment. Whereas symptom free patients with the pre-excitation syndrome who have additional underlying disease predisposing to atr...
متن کاملAcceleration of the ventricular response during atrial fibrillation in the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome after verapamil.
We examined the electrophysiologic effects of verapamil in eight patients with the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Verapamil shortened the antegrade effective refractory period of the accessory pathway in three patients and abbreviated the shortest cycle length with 1:1 conduction over the accessory pathway in two patients. More significantly, verapamil decreased the shortest RR interval betwee...
متن کاملAtrial flutter with 1:1 conduction in undiagnosed Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
BACKGROUND Atrial flutter with 1:1 atrioventricular conduction via an accessory pathway is an uncommon presentation of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome not previously reported in the emergency medicine literature. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a form of ventricular preexcitation sometimes initially seen and diagnosed in the emergency department (ED), can present with varied tachydysrhythmias fo...
متن کاملPercutenous Catheter Ablation of the Accessory Pathway in a Patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome Associated with Familial Atrial Fibrillation
Percutenous catheter ablation of the accessory pathway in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a highly successful mode of therapy. Sudden cardiac arrest survivors associated with WPW syndrome should undergo radiofrequency catheter ablation. WPW syndrome associated with familial atrial fibrillation is a very rare condition. Herein, we describe a case who presented with sudden cardiac arrest second...
