Purpose

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the characteristics of electrophysiologic studies (EPS) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) performed in subjects aged less than 30 years with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, particularly pediatric patients under 18 years of age, based on our experience.

Methods

Two hundred and one consecutive patients with WPW syndrome were recruited and divided to 3 groups according to...

Wolff-Parkinson-White(WPW) syndrome is characterized by electrographic evidence of ventricular preexcitation, which predisposes to supraventicular arrhythmias. Familial occurrence of WPW syndrome is uncommon. We observed two affected siblings in a family. Five members of the family underwent 12-lead electrocardiography and echocardiography. Although known genetic abnormality of the 7q34-q36(PRKAG2) for the familial WPW syndrome was evaluated, the mutation was not detected in...

Purpose : This study was conducted to establish the prevalence and clinical features of WPW- type ventricular preexcitation syndrome in children. Methods : Eighteen patients were discovered by the mass heart disease screening using ECG on 47,691 elementary school children in Kwangju from September 1992 to December 1994(group 1), and 14 patients were diagnosed at the Department of Pediatrics, Chonnam...
