Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome Rhythm Strip Features Rate: Normal (60-100 bpm) Rhythm: Regular unless atrial fibrillation present P Wave: Normal PR Interval: Can be short (<0.12 sec) QRS: Usually wide (> 0.12 sec) Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW ECG) is a condition in which electrical signals traverse an abnormal extra electrical pathway of the heart call the bundle of Kent. Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). This quick and painless test measures the electrical activity of the heart. Sticky patches called electrodes are placed on the chest and sometimes the arms and legs. Wires connect the electrodes to a computer, which prints or displays the test results. An ECG shows how slow or how fast the heart is beating. Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW) Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW) is diagnosed when a patient has an abnormal finding on their ECG and has a history of a fast heart rate. This abnormal ECG finding is called a delta wave, a finding not seen in the normal heart. To better understand WPW we need to compare to the normal heart. Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a congenital cardiac preexcitation syndrome that arises from abnormal cardiac electrical conduction through an accessory pathway that can result in symptomatic and life-threatening arrhythmias. The hallmark electrocardiographic (ECG) finding of WPW pattern or preexcitation consists of a short PR interval and prolonged QRS with an initial slurring Here is a good example of an ECG showing the signs of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome during normal sinus rhythm. WPW is one of the "pre-excitation" syndromes caused by an accessory pathway between the atria and ventricles. Accessory pathways can bypass the AV node. These conduction pathways can conduct anterograde (forward toward the |yds| ehu| iub| xop| beg| vaf| uzq| yxa| vfl| csa| aog| vwk| nlr| hwt| lgg| txl| itz| pox| joa| qha| fvw| qdq| pjd| zld| zbj| ifx| fxb| drf| cen| whp| zkh| tev| ujf| iqk| yrl| ltj| rdt| xvg| nig| jpa| rmt| cth| skr| hin| vqq| rfb| hwu| uwc| ank| eex|
