Diagnosed with this syndrome at 10 years old. Had felt the tachycardia while I was playing football but didn't give it much attention. About 1 hour after the session had ended and the tachycardia wouldn't stop I told my mum and we got to the hospital. At the time I had been at roughly 250 beats per minute for four hours( To give you a perspective, for your heart, that's like sprinting at maximum effort for 4 hours constantly) Immediately after I got to the hospital I had an adenosine shot and my heart beat came back to normal. About a year after I had a catheter ablation procedure and now at 14 my heart is totally healthy and normal.
There is a serious lack of information on WPW online. Especially info in laymen’s terms. The animation really helps visualize what exactly is going on in my heart, so thanks for that.
I have WPW Syndrome since I was 12 years old. Never had any issues, so didn't pay much attention to it. I was visiting cardiologist every year for check ups, without even knowing what I had. Last year I started noticing faster heartrate for a few seconds, when i was calm. Now I have to start wearing Holters for measuring my heart rate and so on. This video really helped to visualize what is really going on inside my chest, Thanks.
I was born with WPW and used to faint often as a kid. I recall episodes of rapid heart beating for 5-10 minutes as far back as I can recall. The first time I went in the ambulance was when I was 18 years old. They didn't catch the erratic beat on EKG and it was hard to explain to the doctor who I think just didn't believe me and my WPW did not appear on EKG when my heart was in "normal" mode though the heartbeat was a bit fast always. I learned to somewhat control the episodes by relaxing until they stopped but they were growing longer and more intense over the years. Flash to age 42 and I had an episode that landed me in the ER again and they caught it on the EKG and used nitro to stop it and the doctor asks how did I get my heart to beat that fast. I said I sneezed.. Yes, a cough, sneeze or yawn was sometimes enough to kick off an episode though not always. They didn't see any heart damage in my blood so they referred me to a cardiologist and sent me home. Flash to age 49 and I'm having an episode and its about to rain hard outside so I stupidly decide to leave work building and head to my car in the large parking lot to go home before a rain storm. Unfortunately, the storm started as I was heading out and I ended up walking faster than was wise during an episode to get to my car. As I arrived to my car I felt a painful stab in my upper left chest and I knew I was in trouble for undertaking activity during an episode. I ended up in the ER again and this time the EKG (which was going off like a pinball machine) registered 250+ bpm and EMT gave me adenosine and nitro to stop the episode and this time doctors saw some heart damage in my blood. Needless to say I ended up having a 4-1/2 hour ablation the next day after spending the night at hospital in the cardiology ward with an 85 year old as roommate. I was told I have many arrhythmias but they got the "big" one. I now take meds to control it moving forward.
As a child I had similar symptoms as you. I would have blackout spells within minutes of physical activity. My heart rate would take an excessive amount of time to calm down. If I tried to push myself to keep up with other kids. It caused me to pass out. I woke up in ambulances multiple times. My parents took me to multiple doctors and they couldn’t find anything wrong with me. They even went as far as recommending a psychiatrist. My dad tried to explain to them something was wrong. He fought with a lot of doctors and insurance companies. Being a fit child only masked the condition. Until one day he found a legit cardiologist that found what was wrong. I had a Cryoablation and have been fine ever since.
Your comment is a year old but I had the same thing. From 6-14 would get the episodes, my family doc said I would “grow out of it”. Never even gave me an EKG. I never passed out, but they certainly were not fun. Same as you, my triggers were simple. The main one was if I took a weird step, missed a star step, etc. Bam, 200 BPM. Finally my mom took me to a new doctor, they gave me an EKG, and within a month I had the ablation done. 22 and haven’t had an episode since
I was diagnosed with this 3 years ago. It was once I had my heart beating fast for 15 minutes straight at 230 in the am., sometimes I feel dizziness like im gonna faint, I'm 41
I’m 22 love just found out yesterday, it’s most causes it’s not harmful and most people with it live a normal life. Some times it can flare up but in most causes your fine. I’m planing on getting mine burned.
I’m 36 now I just found out now coz I have symptoms like fainted and fast beating my heart and I’m Planning to get treatment coz my Doctor said better to get one
I’ve had it for about 15 years. I discovered it myself on a EKG machine. What?! How did you discover it yourself you say :-) . I’m a Medic and was checking off the Ambulance one morning years ago and took the print out from our EKG machine to the ER Dr downstairs to look at it. It was funny, because he was like? Which Patient is this is? Meaning, which room / patient was this on that we brought in, lol. I was like, it’s Me. He turned around and was like… congratulations, you have WPW. Lol. He’s actually probably the best / funniest and kindest ER Dr I’ve ever met and I’ve worked with a Bunch of them. I had a Heart Ablation 1 1/2 years ago and it helped ALOT!!! I think it’s giving me issues again? Not sure? We / The VA Hospital are going to do some test. But, as most comments say… you can live a pretty normal life. I’ve played tons of sports, lifted weights, traveled, was in the Navy, Army , 20 years as a Medic ,etc… and did fine. You just need to know your limits.
@@pirate.the.skull.captain5319 is burned the same as ablation? I had an ablation back in 2016 but I heard somewhere that just because I got an ablation doesn't mean it won't come back. Not sure how true that is, but it's worrisome to me because I had a bad case of it.
I am 14 when I used to be diagnosed with this ailment, by the age of 15 I undergone RF Ablation and the operation didn’t push through anymore since the trigger of my wpw is not as strong as it was, since I have been consistently attending my check upa and taking up maintenance medicine then
I got diagnosed when I was 17 and 23 now and it’s resulting in heart pain lots of arrhythmia and consistent palpitations. It’s really scaring me and I’m going to get an ablation soon. If anyone can give me any words of confirmation it would mean a lot.
close friend of mine was told he might have it recently since he’s been experiencing the symptoms for a few years, even though i don’t got it myself i feel for you and im sure you’re gonna be fine man
@@noncopyrightsong8848 yes, wpw is very curable. The ablation is highly successful. I was one of the early ablation and it has lasted almost 30 years now without issues
I’m 36 and I just diagnosed now because I have symptoms like dizziness,fainted,tired and my finger tips on my foot is like numb and also my heartbit is racing so fast but I just have these symptoms like late lastyear and getting worse this early year that’s why I went to a cardiologist and diagnosed with Wpw and need to be treated to get better and it might be dangerous if I’m not doing it
I have a friend who did electrophysiology study this week after several fainting episodes. He diagnosed with WPW. Intensive cardiologist suggested cryoablation. Is WPW life-threatening?
Back in 2016 (aged 26) I got diagnosed with WPW Syndrome I was in hospital for something completely unrelated but they checked my heart as was fast beat and turned out I have WPW Syndrome
I have this, and my heart started racing, I started getting dizzy and my fingertips and tongue started to lose feeling. Idk if this is related to my wpw but if anyone has any info on what’s happening please let me know
I had it too when I was a kid and I always felt pain in my chest, tired, was breathing very fast and heavily and sweating when ever it..... Btw my case was a little different. I generated it because of an extra vain that generated right on the spot of the short cut and.... You guessed it. The chances of that happening are very low but wait cause in my case because of the vain I need surgery not treatment and my condition was so bad we were planning the surgery before the age I was allowed to take it!!! But something thankfully happened and the vain seriously just stopped transferring electricity!!! Am still living with it😅 now this are lowe odds. No one nows how it happened neither🤷♂️
I get the odd flutters but if I’m gunna go for a ride I go into somewhat of a dream state for a few seconds, get really really thirsty and then it’s on 😅 not the funnest condition to have
I have diagnosed as well with wpw and same symptoms and my Doctor said need to get treatment and I will be fine than doing nothing it might be dangerous
My doctor told me that I have this problem when I went for normal body checkup. I don't feel any abnormal activity with my heart and I am very active in sports. I will go for thorough checkup again because it may create problem at later stage of my life. Since I heard this from my doctor it's making me psychologically weaker
I would recommend to get an ekg test just to make sure, wpw doesn't always show obvious symptoms and in my experience if left untreated it will get worse in time
@@HK-nd9fe glad to hear it, yes i had wpw from birth to 20 yrs old, i had the rarest form of it along with afib, i always thought it was normal and that the episodes i had which consisted of my heart beating upwards to 180+ would eventually go away on their own but i was wrong, they usually lasted only a couple seconds but as i got older they got more frequent and lasted longer to the point that they didn't go away at all without a hospital, i had to find that out the hard way, that's why i always recommend an ekg if there's concern, best of luck to you let me know if you have any more questions
@@UnknownRED333 thanks for sharing your experience. I will go to a cardiologist soon for check up. It's better to treat it now. I am just 33 and it maybe worst later if not treated
Yes. My son had been given Adenosine a handful of times when he went into his bouts of SVT that couldn't be broken by vagal maneuvers. And hes currently only 2 months old so its safe for any age group
@@alisonmorris6395 Hey I am currently 19, I have episodes of SVT every 2-3 months, Will it be fine if I have adenosine whenever SVT hits me? Will it be harmful or have any side effects in long term or short term?
Ive had this for a while now. Ive had 2 surgeries to try and fix it, the last one was about 14 years ago (27now). My symptoms have started coming back recently, and like before the surgery ive alway been able to get it beating normally again by taking in as deep of a breath as possible, holding it for about 8 seconds, and releasing it in a calm manner over 8 seconds and repeating (basically "box breathing"). Usually on the first, or second time exhaling l can feel my heart do make some mighty strange beats as it gets back to its normal rhythm. I feel slighly dizzy for a moment, but its kind of a good feeling because my body begins to noticeably pump blood more effectively throughout my body, and also my breath comes back. I was curious, is anyone else able to do this or something like this to end an episode? My condition was pretty serious as a kid. I have procrastinated getting it checked out for years now but after two surgeries it must be a mild case.
"Occasionally, the accessory pathway can recover from the ablation, and the ablation procedure needs to be repeated." Ahh. So I guess that might explain why I'm having those strange heart episodes almost daily now haha. My condition was described as "more serious" when I was a kid causing me to have to stop hockey and gyn class for almost 12months waiting for the surgery (damn Canada Healthcare) so probably about time I call the doc and get an ECG again
It varies, originally Kent found the pathway anteriorly, near the tricuspid vavle, but patients with accessory pathways can have them septally, or on ventricular walls.
Most the time you can feel wpw, depending on the type though you may not even have symptoms, but in terms of feel if you mean feel like how you touch and feel an object then no, wpw is not a mass or bump, i had the rarest form of wpw since birth and i also had afib along with it, as i aged the episodes i had got worse, seconds became minutes and minutes turned into an hour but eventually it got to the point where the episodes wouldn't stop, that's why i recommend treatment especially if you think it's getting worse and you already know you have it, but always express your concerns to a cardiologist and hear what they have to say, treatment isn't always necessary but me personally I'll always recommend it at least be in consideration, best of luck to you hope this helps
@@UnknownRED333 Ablation option up to doctor, let's see what they said again , Im only scared / Worry about burning wrong or normal way (ablation) but they doctors they know how to do right :)
@@kurayC don't be scared you'll be alright, i had those same fears when i had my surgery and i just kept thinking about the good, the future, how much it'll end up helping me in the long run, i always thought positive thoughts and always thought about it like a mission i have to just go through to level up, you may not even need surgery but always stay positive, you wouldn't have tests given to you if you weren't strong my friend
I do, and I was diagnosed after an episode as a baby. The only thing I remember is being in the ambulance. I yelled out, “Mommy!?” Apparently, it was a relief for her, as I was unconscious until then. The highest heartbeat I remember is 293, but it probably got higher when I was a baby.
@@jerbyslife7481 I did the surgery 2 days ago and everything went well. It was terrifying and it hurt a lot but thankfully I live in Sweden and they know what they're doing. Its a very normal procedure that has a high percentage success rate. Whenever I felt pain and were suffering, they pumped in Afentanyl into me and I was on cloud 9. Seeing my heart beat on the EKG afterwards working normally without the extra heart beat was a big relief. Everything feels good afterwards but Im very tired since Im still recovering. My breathing is better but haven't had the chance yet to try out how it feels to work out because I still get pain in my heart if I walk too fast or get my heart working.
@@jerbyslife7481 I wish you goodluck my friend :) No worries! And you should be excited! Today I noticed that I barely have any breathing problems at all anymore. Feels so good.
@@kimapo I actually don’t have problem with breathing only thing I have is feeling tired and feeling fainted sometimes and I can feel my heart beating fast during at night when I’m lay down but I taking up Medicine 2x a day prescribed by my Doctor and it will help to relax my heart atleast from now when I’m still waiting for my next consultation on July
@@austensalcedo5862 surgery helps, don't wait if you know you have wpw, cause in my experience it will only get worse and it's not something you want to try mentally powering through, I'd recommend getting a cardiologist that has done a procedure on wpw before and who knows the ropes with that syndrome in particular but this is not mandatory as wpw is fairly rare especially depending on certain types. After my surgery (20yrsold) i didn't feel 100% but don't expect too your body doesn't like things inside of it especially messing with your organs, it took a long time for me to recover mentally and physically, I'm 23 now and I'm still not 100% not in terms of my heart which numerous doctors have said was very strong before and after the procedure but in terms of my mental, i honestly don't think I'll ever be 100% again mentally but in terms of my overall health i feel much better than how i did when i had wpw, expect to feel "drunk" and definitely weak when you first get out of the hospital and on your own feet, i couldn't even tie my own shoe or do much at all for a good month after i got out, you might experience weird sensations like hallucinations or out of body experiences when you sleep but just know that you'll be ok, don't do anything crazy for a couple months i did and although I'm fine i did feel like it was too much at the time and it may be one of the reasons why i had weird experiences with my sleep etc. At the end of the day each experience is different and i wanted to give you my honest truth of what happened in my experience, always stay positive before during and after the procedure and never let it knock you down, also i would recommend not doing any drugs or anything like that after your surgery and from then on, i used to smoke alot of trees but i cant anymore not even a little bit or else i end up going to the hospital again because my body just doesn't deal with it anymore, best of luck to you and if you have any other questions feel free to ask.
I've been dealing with this sense I was 12 been to the ER hundreds of times. I'm 34 now and am having the surgery in a week hope it helps mentally it is so hard to deal with. Tired of taking a beta blocker.

Basically, in pts with WPW with Afib/Flutter, if the QRS is wide, cardiovert, do not administer AV nodal blocking agents!
We would rarely if ever give av node blocking agents in wpd, too much risk of the arrhythmia becoming lethal.

So does the accessory pathway conduct back to the AV node or does it bypass it when in tachycardia?
In orthodromic pathway, yes, it conducts the signal to the AV node. Then the AV node conducts it to the ventricles -> bundle of Kent -> again AV node.
I can give Adenosine for WPW patients in a narrow complex tachycardia then, correct? And it's a big "no-no" if they have A fib and WPW in combination?
Yes. My son had been given Adenosine a handful of times when he went into his bouts of SVT that couldn't be broken by vagal maneuvers. And hes currently only 2 months old so its safe for any age group

Ive had this for a while now. Ive had 2 surgeries to try and fix it, the last one was about 14 years ago (27now). My symptoms have started coming back recently, and like before the surgery ive alway been able to get it beating normally again by taking in as deep of a breath as possible, holding it for about 8 seconds, and releasing it in a calm manner over 8 seconds and repeating (basically "box breathing"). Usually on the first, or second time exhaling l can feel my heart do make some mighty strange beats as it gets back to its normal rhythm. I feel slighly dizzy for a moment, but its kind of a good feeling because my body begins to noticeably pump blood more effectively throughout my body, and also my breath comes back.
I was curious, is anyone else able to do this or something like this to end an episode?
My condition was pretty serious as a kid. I have procrastinated getting it checked out for years now but after two surgeries it must be a mild case.
"Occasionally, the accessory pathway can recover from the ablation, and the ablation procedure needs to be repeated."
Ahh. So I guess that might explain why I'm having those strange heart episodes almost daily now haha. My condition was described as "more serious" when I was a kid causing me to have to stop hockey and gyn class for almost 12months waiting for the surgery (damn Canada Healthcare) so probably about time I call the doc and get an ECG again
L.A. or LaMarcus Aldridge got struck there. 🥺
where exactly is the location of the bundle of kent?
It varies, originally Kent found the pathway anteriorly, near the tricuspid vavle, but patients with accessory pathways can have them septally, or on ventricular walls.
I'm 26 and the symptoms are worst now I will get the ablation.
I'm RaFe I couldn’t get the Ablation because I need the Insurance the symptoms are very worst now can’t even sleep 😓
I have wpw Too , my question is People can feel this ? Im touching my left side of my chest and Im feeling it
Most the time you can feel wpw, depending on the type though you may not even have symptoms, but in terms of feel if you mean feel like how you touch and feel an object then no, wpw is not a mass or bump, i had the rarest form of wpw since birth and i also had afib along with it, as i aged the episodes i had got worse, seconds became minutes and minutes turned into an hour but eventually it got to the point where the episodes wouldn't stop, that's why i recommend treatment especially if you think it's getting worse and you already know you have it, but always express your concerns to a cardiologist and hear what they have to say, treatment isn't always necessary but me personally I'll always recommend it at least be in consideration, best of luck to you hope this helps
@@UnknownRED333 I hope you are okey now my friend . I Go to the again hospital soon And let's see what happen Im update you my friend !
@@kurayC I'm alright now thank you, ended up getting an ablation a couple years ago, yeah let me know on the updates, you'll be alright
@@UnknownRED333 Ablation option up to doctor, let's see what they said again , Im only scared / Worry about burning wrong or normal way (ablation) but they doctors they know how to do right :)
@@kurayC don't be scared you'll be alright, i had those same fears when i had my surgery and i just kept thinking about the good, the future, how much it'll end up helping me in the long run, i always thought positive thoughts and always thought about it like a mission i have to just go through to level up, you may not even need surgery but always stay positive, you wouldn't have tests given to you if you weren't strong my friend
Anybody that sees this comment. Do you have wpw? And how was you diagnosed?
I do, and I was diagnosed after an episode as a baby. The only thing I remember is being in the ambulance. I yelled out, “Mommy!?” Apparently, it was a relief for her, as I was unconscious until then. The highest heartbeat I remember is 293, but it probably got higher when I was a baby.
Rushed to the hospital as an infant being baptized. 😂
I apparently fainted while playing in my front yard! I was two years old.
Can I do bodybuilding if I have this syndrome?
Wait bro it doesn't have to do anything with bodybuilding
İs this nicki minaj at the end of the vid talking??
Got my wpw surgery at 21 but seems it is back some how 25 now lol
How’s the feeling after treatment? Do you feel better now? Coz I have one too and will undergo for treatment as my Doctor said
@@jerbyslife7481 I did the surgery 2 days ago and everything went well. It was terrifying and it hurt a lot but thankfully I live in Sweden and they know what they're doing. Its a very normal procedure that has a high percentage success rate. Whenever I felt pain and were suffering, they pumped in Afentanyl into me and I was on cloud 9.
Seeing my heart beat on the EKG afterwards working normally without the extra heart beat was a big relief. Everything feels good afterwards but Im very tired since Im still recovering. My breathing is better but haven't had the chance yet to try out how it feels to work out because I still get pain in my heart if I walk too fast or get my heart working.
@@kimapo nice to know! I’m also excited to get my surgery coz I’m always feeling tired and feeling fainted! Thank you again for the information 🥰
@@jerbyslife7481 I wish you goodluck my friend :) No worries!
And you should be excited! Today I noticed that I barely have any breathing problems at all anymore. Feels so good.
@@kimapo I actually don’t have problem with breathing only thing I have is feeling tired and feeling fainted sometimes and I can feel my heart beating fast during at night when I’m lay down but I taking up Medicine 2x a day prescribed by my Doctor and it will help to relax my heart atleast from now when I’m still waiting for my next consultation on July
I had this it sucked i had one surgery and i went to the hospital 100 times
How did you feel after the surgery? Did it help? I have this and might be getting the surgery that’s why I ask
@@austensalcedo5862 surgery helps, don't wait if you know you have wpw, cause in my experience it will only get worse and it's not something you want to try mentally powering through, I'd recommend getting a cardiologist that has done a procedure on wpw before and who knows the ropes with that syndrome in particular but this is not mandatory as wpw is fairly rare especially depending on certain types. After my surgery (20yrsold) i didn't feel 100% but don't expect too your body doesn't like things inside of it especially messing with your organs, it took a long time for me to recover mentally and physically, I'm 23 now and I'm still not 100% not in terms of my heart which numerous doctors have said was very strong before and after the procedure but in terms of my mental, i honestly don't think I'll ever be 100% again mentally but in terms of my overall health i feel much better than how i did when i had wpw, expect to feel "drunk" and definitely weak when you first get out of the hospital and on your own feet, i couldn't even tie my own shoe or do much at all for a good month after i got out, you might experience weird sensations like hallucinations or out of body experiences when you sleep but just know that you'll be ok, don't do anything crazy for a couple months i did and although I'm fine i did feel like it was too much at the time and it may be one of the reasons why i had weird experiences with my sleep etc. At the end of the day each experience is different and i wanted to give you my honest truth of what happened in my experience, always stay positive before during and after the procedure and never let it knock you down, also i would recommend not doing any drugs or anything like that after your surgery and from then on, i used to smoke alot of trees but i cant anymore not even a little bit or else i end up going to the hospital again because my body just doesn't deal with it anymore, best of luck to you and if you have any other questions feel free to ask.
I've been dealing with this sense I was 12 been to the ER hundreds of times. I'm 34 now and am having the surgery in a week hope it helps mentally it is so hard to deal with. Tired of taking a beta blocker.
@@UnknownRED333 thank you for sharing your experience coz I will undergo for treatment as well anytime soon
