Wolff Parkinson White WPW Syndrome Electrophysiology Study Radiofrequency Ablation

Diagnosis: As per the shared reports, the young boy is suspected to have a congenital heart condition, Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW)Syndrome, causing symptomatic palpitations.

Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a congenital heart condition characterized by an extra electrical pathway between the heart’s chambers, causing episodes of rapid heartbeat (tachycardia). Common symptoms include palpitations, dizziness, chest pain, and fainting, though many individuals are asymptomatic.

We will need to reconfirm the diagnosis and the disease status before starting the treatment.

Investigations required: The patient will undergo detailed physical and clinical investigations, including Coronary Angiography (if needed), electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiography, exercise stress tests, blood investigations, and other routine tests.

Possible treatment options: According to the doctors, the final line of treatment can only be decided as per investigation outcomes.

If Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is confirmed, then the patient may need an electrophysiology study with RFA (Radiofrequency Ablation).

An electrophysiology study (EPS) is a minimally invasive, specialized heart procedure that maps the heart’s electrical system to diagnose and treat arrhythmias.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure that uses radio waves to generate heat, creating a precise, high-temperature lesion that destroys dysfunctional tissue, such as tumor cells or pain-transmitting nerves.

Kindly Note: The advised treatment plan is based solely on the reports shared with us. The final treatment plan will be decided only after clinical and physical evaluations upon your arrival.
