Cardiology As a Specialty

Today I will share about this Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome: prevalence of Wolff Parkinson White syndrome (WPWS)
ranges from 0.1% to 3% being the most frequent pre excitation syndrome, and it is a common cause of rapid heart
rate. WPWS, a pre excitation syndrome of the heart ventricles, is a congenital heart abnormality because of an
anomalous beam, the Kent's Beak, which runs through the anterolateral part of the atrium and right ventricle (if
it is on the left side it is called the Ohnell Beam).

Objective: to present a clinical case ofa woman patient with the diagnosis of Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome and
the antecedent of an Ebstein anomaly.

Clinical Case: a 47-year-old white female patient who had been diagnosed in childhood an Ebstein anomaly and a
double excretion renal system as well as a 28-year-old daughter with Wolff Parkinson White syndrome diagnosed
when she was 15 years old is presented. About 2 years ago the patient started with episodes of tachycardia,
dizziness, difficulty breathing at times as well as feeling faint. A physical examination is performed along with the clinical picture and ECG, confirming the diagnosis of Wolff Parkinson White syndrome.

Conclusions: clinical manifestations accompanied by electrocardiographic data: PR interval less than 120
msec, wide QRS with delta wave and secondary changes of repolarization confirmed the diagnosis of a WPWS.

Key words: Wolff Parkinson White syndrome; Congenital malformations; Electrocardiographic alterations; Ebstein
anomaly.
For poorly diagnosed syndromes, it is recommended that people with family members with a history of heart disease have a cardiology interconsultation. Thanks, we must always look for good health.
