The heart has an electrical system that works a certain.
Heart electrical problems wolff.
Also known as heart block a conduction disorder is a problem with the electrical system that makes your heart beat and controls its rate and rhythm.
The episodes of fast heartbeats usually aren t life threatening but serious heart problems can occur.
Heart arrhythmias uh rith me uhs may feel like a fluttering or racing heart and may be harmless.
Wolff parkinson white syndrome is characterised by attacks of rapid heart rate tachycardia.
It is a rare condition of irregular heartbeat or arrhythmia.
Wolff parkinson white wpw syndrome in wolff parkinson white wpw syndrome an extra electrical pathway between your heart s upper and lower chambers causes a rapid heartbeat.
The condition which is present at birth is fairly rare.
Talking about the cardiac electrical system and abnormal heart rhythms can be very confusing.
Normally the electrical signal that makes your heart beat travels from the top of your heart to the bottom.
Rapid heart rates may be due to wiring problems with the electrical pathways in the heart.
This can cause short circuits making the heart speed up and beat 150 beats a minute or more.
Wolff parkinson white wpw syndrome is a birth defect in which the heart develops an extra or aberrant electrical pathway.
A person with wolff parkinson white syndrome has two electrical pathways inside their heart instead of one and the extra pathway can lead to instability in the electrical control mechanism of the heart.
When you have wpw along with your normal conduction pathway you have an extra pathway called an accessory pathway.
Abnormalities in the heart s electrical system can lead to problems with the heart rate too fast or too slow or can entirely disrupt the normal functioning of the heart even if the heart s muscles and valves themselves are entirely normal.
They are normal heart muscle not specialized electric tissue and they may.
This system is called the cardiac conduction system.
Wpw is an electrical abnormality in the heart that may be associated with supraventricular tachycardia fast heart rate originating above the ventricles.
