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
13 clinical trials for this condition and its sub-types, 3 tagged with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome itself.

Can a Gene-Silencing drug tame a rare heart disease?
Disease control Recruiting nowThis trial tests an investigational medicine called ATR 1072 in adults with PRKAG2 syndrome, a genetic condition that causes abnormal heart muscle thickening and rhythm problems. The drug is designed to reduce the activity of the faulty PRKAG2 gene. Researchers are evaluating its…

Can we predict who will die suddenly from heart problems?
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study follows 1500 people who already have an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) to prevent sudden cardiac death. Researchers will track heart function, genetics, and blood markers to find better ways to predict who is at highest risk. The goal is to improve how do…

New study tracks heart valve damage from pacemaker leads
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study aims to measure how often a heart valve leak (tricuspid regurgitation) develops or worsens after getting a pacemaker or defibrillator with a lead that crosses the valve. About 200 adults who need their first device will have heart ultrasounds before and after the proce…
