Radiofrequency catheter ablation successfully treated Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW). Post-ablation anterior ST-segment elevation in WPW patients, potentially prolonged by left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), may occur.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Electrophysiology
- Medical Devices
Background:
- Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) is characterized by an accessory pathway.
- Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) can complicate cardiac conditions.
- Transient loss of consciousness necessitates urgent investigation.
