Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) and Associated Arrhythmias

Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome can give rise to several rhythm disturbances. This video explains how, and helps students understand the differences between orthodromic and antidromic atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT)

Thank you. My 19 year old daughter was just diagnosed with WPW. This was so scary for us at first. Thanks for the break down

[@backhill36000]

This was so helpful and explained in so much detail. Thank you.

[@mccataldo]

This has to be the best visual explanation of WPW available on the interwebs. Thank you!

[@bpatel095]

This was a very helpful video, thanks for sharing!

[@Cosine_Wave]

Just what I was looking for!

[@zzAGONYxx]

Awesome video, thanks very much!

[@hollycahill3901]

Really amazing explanation. Thank you

[@anandkumar-dc6kw]

Thanks what's an amazing presentation

[@anitablanco7309]

I'm a certified EKG tech and work as a cardiac monitor tech at the hospital. What I learned about the inverted P wave is that the impulse originates high in the AV junction, and the result of the rhythm or beat will have an inverted P wave preceding the QRS, and interval should be less than 0.12 secs. Also, the premature atrial contraction or complexes are premature beats that are fired out by irritable atrial tissue before the next sinus beat is due. The premature P wave may or may not be followed by a QRS, depending on how premature the PAC is. If the PAC is very premature, it will not be conducted to the ventricle because it will arrive during the ventricle's refractory period.

well explained, Thanks a lot !

Thank you very much!

[@ashirwaadhospitalbhagalpur7179]

yes.

[@padmatheja6292]

Thanq u...such a clear explanation...😀

[@markyounger1240]

Good lecture, but if you really want to be intertained, click on closed captioning and read the words. It must use voice recognition software that isn't very good. It even gets obscene at 12:50. Check it out.

[@marionsquire2538]

Thanks so much.

[@elaineluther1799]

Thank you for the explanation. I have a question, though. When you are looking for WPW pattern, it is present in ALL leads? Or only in certain leads? And if present only in certain leads, can you localize the accessory pathway by what leads the delta wave appears in?

[@the_true_medicine]

Thanks for you

[@Gerri_44]

Good stuff thank you

[@dr.noir27]

so basically the accessory pathway can induce avrt(orthodromic, antidromic) and pre excitation pattern(delta wave)

[@indianheat]

So first off. Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to explain some not so easy concepts. I was reading in uptodate a sentence that said "retrograde arm of an orthodromic atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia". Since orthodromic and antidromic are new words to me, can you tell me the difference between that and Antero and Retrograde?

very good

can sleep be disturbed due to wpw syndrome?

[@sana1006]

Hi Doc I also suffers from WPW just hospitalised
iin sept and oct
but unfortunately ablation is not done in my country
I am on medication my heart beat is around 250 BP can rise till 20

[@marinahohman4799]

Haben Sie keine Möglichkeit die Ablation in einem anderen Land durchführen zu lassen❓in welchem Lsnd Leben Sie❓Bei meinem Sohn, 23, hier in Germany, lief es zum Glück problemlos ab🍀 Ich wünsche Ihnen alles Gute🌈🍀🌈🙏

[@zacharyrich4069]

I have WPW with afib. Scary stuff! Getting ablated soon.

[@kurayC]

U done about ablation ? ı have WPW Too

[@zacharyrich4069]

Kuray Çevik yep, it went great! No episodes since. I felt fully recovered literally the day after.

[@kurayC]

@@zacharyrich4069 awsome ! I think ım gonna ablation soon too

[@zacharyrich4069]

Kuray Çevik Yay! Look for an experienced doctor and you’ll do great! Good luck and let me know how it goes.

[@arpitjain816]

Ablation. Catheter daalke iss abnormal tract ko khatam kar dete hain, fir koi takleef nhi hogi.

[@xXIJMPIXx]

This may be a dumb question. But is "WPW Syndrome" only confirmed if the AVRT is eliminated and a WPW pattern is seen? Otherwise, it would be as if all AVRT's would be WPW Syndrome... is that dumb?

[@noncopyrightsong8848]

Weather ablation your successful

[@petepj7959]

I had WPW until a week ago, I had it operated and removed with ablation, its GONE !
If your hospital do the ablations, dont wait ! its relatively easy and safe procedure.
Palpitations can be life treatining if you will be older and get any other heart problems so dont wait and remove that extra path. Technology is great nowdays.

[@1979carlosdaniel]

Great News Pete!

[@sana1006]

I also have WPW but infortunately ablation is not done in my country
its so painful my heart beat reach around 250 also my BP up to 20
feell chocking cant breath as if i am going to died

[@kurayC]

I have wpw too I might be ablation too question is When Touching my heart left side I feeling weird heart beats is that extra pathway what I feeling ?
