The risk of recurrence after accessory pathway (AP) ablation in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome ranges between 5-12%.1-3 Given practice variation in duration of follow up after successful AP ablation, data on recurrence risk is largely limited to the first year following catheter ablation2. Cases of late recurrence at our institution prompted us to describe our institutional experience including long-term risk of recurrence of WPW pattern on ECG, accessory pathway characteristics before and after recurrence, and the proportion of recurrence that is symptomatic or asymptomatic to better guide follow-up pr...

Do children with asymptomatic ventricular preexcitation have similar quality of life as healthy children?
CONCLUSIONS: The children with WPW were more dissatisfied with their health compared to healthy children. Although both groups of children had similar levels of satisfaction with their QoL, some areas of physical and psychological parameters of QoL were worse in WPW children. The PARS questionnaire is a useful tool as a disease-specific QoL instrument, which supplements the general questionnaire and aids in clinical practice and decision-making.PMID:38493473 | DOI:10.33963/v.phj.99291 (Source: Kardiologia Polska)

Ablation of accessory pathways in different anatomic locations using focal pulsed field ablation
Ablation of accessory pathways (APs) is the cornerstone for treatment of patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and manifestation of atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a new type of nonthermal energy source delivered to the underlying tissue via the ablation catheter and used for ablation of arrhythmic substrates.

Geschichte der chirurgischen Behandlung von Herzrhythmusst örungen in Deutschland
ZusammenfassungDie Geschichte der Behandlung ventrikul ärer Tachykardien durch chirurgische Verfahren ist kurz; sie dauerte nicht länger als 15 Jahre von etwa 1978 bis 1993. Grundsätzlich sind zwei chirurgische Verfahren zu unterscheiden. Dieindirekten Verfahren mit Resektion einer Infarktnarbe ohne elektrophysiologische Untersuchung und diedirekten Verfahren mit gezielter Endokardinzision ( „encircling endocardial ventriculotomy“). In Deutschland haben Ostermeyer, Breithardt und Seipel (Düsseldorf) 1979 erstmals über intraoperatives, elektrophysiologisches Mapping bei ventrikulären Tachykardien (VT) berichtet; ...

Top stories in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (2022 –2023)
The Copenhagen Baby Heart Study, a multicenter, prospective, population-based cohort study of 17,489 neonates younger than 30 days, identified 17 with a WPW pattern, a prevalence of 0.1%.1 This was more frequent in boys and was not associated with structural heart disease. Accessory pathways (APs) were primarily left-sided. At follow-up, the WPW pattern had disappeared in most, suggesting either an intermittent nature or that normalization occurs.

Utility of Intracoronary Acetylcholine Provocation Testing in Inducing Atrial Fibrillation with Preexcitation Followed by Ventricular Fibrillation in a Patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome: A Case Report
Intern Med. 2024 Feb 19. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.3000-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 20-year-old man was resuscitated after ventricular fibrillation (VF). Electrocardiography revealed Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. Intracoronary acetylcholine provocation testing was performed to induce VF secondary to the coronary vasospasm. The administration of acetylcholine to the coronary artery induced atrial fibrillation (AF) with pre-excitation, followed by VF without coronary vasospasm. Electrophysiological studies revealed an accessory pathway managed by catheter ablation. Subsequent intracoronary acetylcholine p...
