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.

New ultrasound technique could sharpen heart arrhythmia diagnosis
Diagnosis By invitation onlyThis 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 …

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…
