💡 Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) Syndrome: ECG & Clinical Essentials Key ECG Features: · Short PR interval ( 120 ms) Pathophysiology: Accessory pathway(Bundle of Kent) bypasses AV node → premature ventricular excitation Clinical Red Flag: AFib WPW = Medical Emergency · Irregular wide-complex tachycardia · Some RR intervals may approach 300 bpm · Risk of degenerating into VF Critical Management: · Avoid AV nodal blockers (verapamil, digoxin, beta-blockers) · Use: Procainamide or immediate cardiover

4.5K views · 146 reactions | The classic ECG triad of Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome: ✅ Short PR interval (<120 ms) ✅ Delta wave (slurred QRS upstroke) ✅ Wide QRS complex (>120 ms) All due to ventricular pre-excitation via an accessory pathway (Bundle of Kent). A must-know pattern for every clinician and cardiology trainee! ⚡️ #WPW #ECG #EKG #Cardiology #FOAMed #MedEd | Abdallah Othman | Facebook
