WPW syndrome: heart rhythm attack, extremely fast heartbeat
-
The heart rate should normally be sixty to eighty beats per minute at rest in order to supply the person with sufficient oxygenated blood. To this end, an electrical signal is created in the sinus node, which regulates the heart rate. During the transfer of information, a delay of the signal should normally be built in so that the heart starts beating in a certain rhythm. In the case of WPW syndrome, the person has a congenital heart rhythm disorder, in which sometimes that delay doesn't work or the electrical signal follows an unusual route. A high heart rate is the result. What is Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and what is being done about it?

Rate of occurrence
-
Slightly more than one percent of all people have this syndrome. In other words, from birth to old age, the person has the chance to get an abnormally high heart rate. As one gets older

Atria sinus and AV node operation
-
The sinus node at the top of the right atrium is a special area that makes spontaneous contracting movements. Every second it will respond, causing the muscles to contract. The knot therefore causes an electric shock, to which the muscles then react. The stimulation is sent to the AV node, which is located at the bottom of the right atrium. Normally, the electrical signal is briefly held in the AV node before it is sent on. It gives the opportunity for the blood to move to the next chamber (ventricle) within a short period of time
Symptoms of the WPW syndrome
-
Excessive heart rate
Ablation
-
A common way of avoiding future attacks is to remove Kent's bundle. This second conduction path does not block electrical signals. By ablation, the conduction cells are burned away, with the result that this conduction path no longer exists. In other words, the electrical signal is forced to go through the AV node. In that case, they will not have an attack, which will cure the WPW syndrome. If palpitations continue, an ICD defibrillator may be beneficial.
