Wolff-Parkinson-White, or WPW, syndrome is a congenital heart condition. Those with WPW syndrome are born with this condition, in which the heart contains an additional electrical pathway. ...

Symptoms of WPW may include one or more of the following:
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a type of heart condition that you are born with. It causes rapid heart rate. Medicine can help control symptoms. Cardiac ablation can cure the disease in most cases. Talk with your healthcare provider right away if you have symptoms of WPW.
Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome is sometimes associated with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy, a form of mitochondrial disease. WPW carries a small risk of sudden death, presumably due to rapidly conducted atrial fibrillation causing ventricular fibrillation.
In Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, an extra signaling pathway between the heart's upper and lower chambers causes a fast heartbeat (tachycardia). WPW syndrome is a heart condition present at birth (congenital heart defect). It is fairly rare.
The WPW pattern is applied to the patient with pre-excitation manifest on an EKG in the absence of symptomatic arrhythmias. The WPW syndrome is applied to the patient with both pre-excitation manifest on an EKG and symptomatic arrhythmias involving the accessory pathway.
Personal history of other specified conditionsICD-10 code Z87. 898 for Personal history of other specified conditions is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .

Classic ECG findings that are associated with WPW syndrome include the following: Presence of a short PR interval (<120 ms) A wide QRS complex longer than 120 ms with a slurred onset of the QRS waveform, termed a delta wave, in the early part of QRS. Secondary ST-T wave changes (see the image below)
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) refers to a group of abnormal fast heart rhythms that arise because of a problem involving the upper chambers of the heart. WPW is short for Wolf-Parkinson White syndrome which is a special form of SVT.
The ICD-10 code Z86. 4 applies to cases where there is "a personal history of psychoactive substance abuse" (drugs or alcohol or tobacco) but specifically excludes current dependence (F10 - F19 codes with the fourth digit of 2).

WPW type B (with a right sided AV nodal bypass tract) is considerably more common than type A (left sided bypass tract) which is illustrated later.
Type B has a predominantly negative delta wave and QRS complex in V1 and V2 and becomes positive in transition to the lateral leads, much as in left bundle-branch block (LBBB).
With treatment, the condition can normally be completely cured. For some people, their condition settles down without needing treatment. WPW syndrome can sometimes be life-threatening, particularly if it occurs alongside a type of irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation.
If you have a fast heartbeat, your health care provider will likely recommend tests to check for WPW syndrome, such as: Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). This quick and painless test measures the electrical activity of the heart. Sticky patches (electrodes) are placed on the chest and sometimes the arms and legs.
