Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome?

---

I am a 41yo male who is in the Army. I live and work in Michigan but I had to go to Fort Knox last week for a routine physical. The PA doing my physical seemed quite PO'd because I had an abnormal EKG and wanted to know why. Of course I dont know why I thought that was his job to explain it to me. Anyway when I got back to Michigan I went to see my doctor who set up an appointment with a cardiologist. The cardiologist told me I had WPW syndrome and he wants me to have an echocardiogram and wear Holter monitor for 48 hours.
I often get palpatations and I seem to always be short of breath. Other than that I feel fine. I have normal BP and pulse rates. I do work 60-70 hours per week.

Do you think this is anything I need to worry about? I am going to retire from the Army in a year and I want to make sure that everything that can be done, is done before I retire. I dont want to be taking medicine for the rest of my life.

Thanks!
WPW is a congenital abnormality in which the normal electrical activity of the heart is short circuited. This may make it prone to the development of rapid heart beating or tachycardia. It also is important in that the EKG abnormality can mimic the pattern of a heart attack. Your doctor needs to find out if your are having attacks of rapid heart beat before he can plan if and how to treat them, There are plenty of medications but now days the problem is often cured by locating and ablating the short circuit by inserting a catheter from a leg vein up into the problem area of the heart. It is a condition that needs attention but I wouldn't lay awake at night worrying about. Wiki it at

Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome in Pregnancy?

---

I am 17 weeks pregnant and have had WPW since I was born. When I was born it was extremely life threatening for me. I have a lot of knowledge about this condition and the effects it has on me. My doctor just told me there is a chance I could pass it on to my baby. This is something I do not know anything about or the affects it could have on the baby while I am carrying it. It is to soon for my doctor to tell.

I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge on this? Or if anyone knows how high of a chance I have on passing it to my baby?

Thanks for you much needed help!
I have it, and they told me that it is POSSIBLE to pass it on, but the chance is very slight...like less than 20% chance I believe. I have three kids and none of them have it. My son was tested for it because he had a murmur, but he didn't have it. I am pregnant now, but I wasn't too worried about it. They said it was more likely that my sisters had it rather than my kids. They don't have it, either. I guess I was the only one to have it. I didn't get diagnosed with mine until I was 32. I had had it since I was born, though. It is very uncommon, too. Most people don't even know what it is.  (+ info)

Question about Wolff Parkinson White syndrome?

---

I have been diagnosed with this condition about 4 months ago, and my main problem is that i have heart palpitations during sleep, it doesnt matter what time of day it is, but i normally will have them almost every time i sleep, is WPW a probable cause for my symptom? i also was told i had a minor mitral valve prolapse after having done a 24 hour holter monitor and Echo cardiogram. after looking up other peoples symptoms of wpw online, i could conclude that their palpitations only start when excercising , that is not the case with me, i only have them when i sleep.
WPW Syndrome can indeed cause palpitations during exercise and it is most commonly noted then, but episodes can also occur at times unrelated to activity. Mitral valve prolapse can also cause palpitations. So the question is which one is causing your episodes. You might try to avoid stimulants before sleep, like drinks with caffeine or alot of sugar in them.  (+ info)

I had/have? Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome. Had a Catheter ablation, removed 2 extra node things. Still palps.

---

I was diagnosed with WPW Syndrome in January. Had the first EP Study done in early January but they couldn't find the extra nodes. Went in last week and had the surgey again and the Dr. removed 2 nodes. After surgery and the next day my EKG was great and I was released as usual. I am still having palpitations and so I had to wear the Holter Monitor for 24 hours. The nurse called and said that the Dr. wanted to see me. I have normal blood pressure, my HR is normal. No light headedness or fainting. I do get tired though. Anybody else have this problem after the surgery? know what it could be? any help is appreciated.

Any other symptoms with WPW (wolff-parkinson-white syndrome)?

---

I found out I have WPW, and I have an appointment for a consultation to have an ablation. Besides the palpations and regular symptoms, do you have any other symptoms? I just wondered if it's also maybe associated with fatigue.
I guess I'm hoping having to go through the procedure that maybe it'll cure some other problems I have that may come along with it.
Or...if you had an ablation, did you notice anything different in yourself other than the not having the palpatations?
I know about SVT.......I've had it for 15 years. I asked about other symptoms. I wish if you didn't have an answer you wouldn't point grub.
Yes it can cause fatigue. I have had a few ablations for arrhythmias. I was experiencing several arrythmias which showed up and I was thought to have wpw as well. I have noticed that I get tired and of course the palpitations which drive me nuts are the worst part. I do also get out of breath as well. Especially when coming up my stairs. After my ablation which I had at cleveland clinic I was better. The thing is I needed up to two more and was unable to have them there due to insurance coverage. when I had my other ablations done locally It didn't work as well. And now I have bradycardia instead of tachycardia. I did have some relief from the ablation for a while I felt completely normal. That was nice. Of course it may last for you. Everyone is different.
Hope that helps. I can't remember the sites I saw but you can just type heart arrythmias or wpw in the search and find some info on it. hope that helps, hope your ablation goes well.  (+ info)
