Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
MONDO:0008685A cardiac conduction disorder characterized by an electrocardiographic finding of ventricular pre-excitation, which is a short PR interval and a long QRS interval with a delta wave. Most individuals are asymptomatic; however they can experience periods of palpitations, shortness of breath or syncope during tachycardic episodes.
Also known as: WPW, Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern (finding), Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, Wolff-Parkinson-white syndrome (disease), ventricular familial preexcitation syndrome, Wpw syndrome, accessory atrioventricular pathways, preexcitation syndrome

New ultrasound technique could sharpen heart arrhythmia diagnosis
Diagnosis ENROLLING_BY_INVITATIONThis study tests a new, non-invasive ultrasound method called electromechanical wave imaging (EWI) to see if it can more accurately locate and diagnose heart rhythm problems compared to standard tests. About 322 adults already scheduled for a heart procedure will get an EWI scan …

Super MRI could spot hidden heart damage
Diagnosis OngoingThis study tests whether a new, more powerful 7 Tesla MRI can better detect scarring and swelling in the heart muscle of people with cardiomyopathy. Researchers will scan 13 adults aged 20-70 to see if the higher-resolution images improve diagnosis. The goal is to see if this adv…

Ear zaps may tweak heart rhythms, tiny study hints
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis small pilot study is testing whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation on the ear (auricular vagus nerve stimulation) can change how the heart's electrical system works. Ten people who are already scheduled for a heart procedure will receive the stimulation while…
