12 Lead electrocardiogram algorithm for the localization of accessory pathways using simple parameters in patients with typical Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome

Abstract

This study was designed to characteristics of 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) to compare the position of accessory pathway (APs) in the typical Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, can be build a new ECG algorithm for the localization of AP. Subjects and method: In 189 patients with typical WPW syndrome have a single anterogradely conducting APs on 12-lead ECG parameters were compared with the localization of APs identified by successful radiofrequency catheter ablation (RCFA).

“…This accessory pathway (AP) does not have the same rate-slowing properties as the AV node, and might conduct electrical activity at a higher rate than the AV node. Chu et al [1], developed a new ECG algorithm for identifying the location of AP in WPW patients.…”

“…The current issue of Interventional Cardiology presents some interesting studies. Chu et al [1], developed a new ECG algorithm for identifying the location of the accessory pathway (AP) in WolffParkinson-White syndrome (WPW) patients. Ranocchi et al [2], presented the successful management of an ischemic ventricular septal defect (VSD) caused due to the rupture of the posterior left ventricular free-wall, following blockage of a right coronary artery (RCA).…”
