What are the symptoms of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome

People with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome are born with an extra connection in the heart, called an accessory pathway, that allows electrical signals to bypass the atrioventricular node and move from the atria to the ventricles faster than usual. The accessory pathway may also transmit electrical impulses abnormally from the ventricles back to the atria. This extra connection can disrupt the coordinated movement of electrical signals through the heart, leading to an abnormally fast heartbeat (tachycardia) and other arrhythmias. Resulting symptoms include dizziness, a sensation of fluttering or pounding in the chest (palpitations), shortness of breath, and fainting (syncope). In rare cases, arrhythmias associated with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome can lead to cardiac arrest and sudden death. The most common arrhythmia associated with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is called paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.
What other heart conditions is Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome associated with?

Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome often occurs with other structural abnormalities of the heart or underlying heart disease. The most common heart defect associated with the condition is Ebstein anomaly, which affects the valve that allows blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle (the tricuspid valve). Additionally, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome can be a component of several other genetic syndromes, including hypokalemic periodic paralysis (a condition that causes episodes of extreme muscle weakness), Pompe disease (a disorder characterized by the storage of excess glycogen), and tuberous sclerosis (a condition that results in the growth of noncancerous tumors in many parts of the body).

Signs and Symptoms

Wolff-Parkinson White (WPW) syndrome is an extra electrical pathway in the heart, which is an abnormal bridge of heart muscle fibers that connects the upper chambers of the heart to the lower chambers, called the ventricles. This extra pathway may allow electrical impulses to travel rapidly in the heart causing an abnormally fast heartbeat, a form of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). The extra electrical pathway may be seen on an electrocardiogram (ECG), causing an abnormal pattern known as a delta wave. In rare cases, the heart rhythm can be extremely rapid and potentially dangerous.

Wolf Parkinson White (WPW) syndrome is due to an accessory atrioventricular pathway which bypasses the normal atrioventricular (AV) nodal delay. ECG manifests a short PR interval and a delta wave. They are prone for supraventricular tachycardias (SVT)

Yes it can cause fatigue. I have had a few ablations for arrhythmias. I was experiencing several arrythmias which showed up and I was thought to have wpw as well. I have noticed that I get tired and of course the palpitations which drive me nuts are the worst part. I do also get out of breath as well. Especially when coming up my stairs. After my ablation which I had at cleveland clinic I was better. The thing is I needed up to two more and was unable to have them there due to insurance coverage. when I had my other ablations done locally It didn’t work as well. And now I have bradycardia instead of tachycardia. I did have some relief from the ablation for a while I felt completely normal. That was nice. Of course it may last for you. Everyone is different.
Hope that helps. I can’t remember the sites I saw but you can just type heart arrythmias or wpw in the search and find some info on it. hope that helps, hope your ablation goes well.
