- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ค. 2019
- Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome (WPW) explained clearly by Dr. Seheult. See the next video in this ECG series at www.medcram.com/courses/ekg-e...
Understand WPW ECG findings, pathophysiology, symptoms, treatment options, common pitfalls, and more. WPW syndrome can cause life-threatening arrhythmias via accessory pathways in the heart. Learn the key EKG findings of Wolff Parkinson White pattern as well as treatment options for WPW.

Great explanation of WPW.
I was diagnosed with WPW as an infant in the early 80s and very little was known about it back then or at least the information was never relayed to my parents.
I still get several episodes of tachycardia per year and I've developed my own breathing exercises over the years to stop the tachycardia and 9 times out of 10 I'm successful at stopping them. The other times I end up in hospital and end up getting examined by loads of student doctors who insist massaging the arteries in my throat (which never does anything except tear the skin on my neck). I end up getting injections of adenosine which feels so weird when it's pumped in fast but the relief is amazing.
I have had 3 failed ablation procedures over the years with the last being about 15 years ago. I was told that there was no point trying again as the extra pathway was too close to the AV node and another ablation just increased the likelihood of ending up with a pacemaker so I just continued with the medication since then.
I have only ever met one other person who had WPW and he was a total nervous wreak about it. He was in his early 30s and suddenly started having episodes of tachycardia whenever he got stressed or excited. He was going in for an ablation and said he thought he was going to die each time he had an episode.
As I have grown up with having episodes of tachycardia very regularly as a child they were just an annoyance to me but I never thought of the effect these episodes would have on an adult with no prior experience.
I’ve been looking for a good WPW lecture for a long time! Got another one to add to the list of medicine videos.
excellent, excellent video!
Thank you so much for the very simple explanation, almost always when I saw the WPW I was afraid from this synonym, but now at least I have few points about..🌷
Thanks for the comment!
please make a video abot Long QT-Syndrom
Thanks 😊
I’ve had 3 heart ablations for wpw. I’m very worried about this virus as it’s known to attack heart patients very bad. I’ve also had svt. I get tachycardia here and there. Do you think I would be okay if god forbid I catch the virus?
can sleep be disturbed due to wpw syndrome?
Илья Болутов I have WPW and it’s never disturbed my sleep
As someone with this condition, it is, first, difficult to get medical staff to believe you, second, difficult to explain to them that *you absolutely will not give me beta/blockers of any kind* and, third, that once cardioversion has been done, rhythm and rate will look totally normal and like nothing happened.
For context, I was diagnosed with a hole in my heart at birth.
