Can you have surgery to get breast implants if you have wolff parkinson white disease, syndrome?

---

I don't know about your illness but I do regard breast implants as unnecessary and dangerous. It involves major surgery.Be happy with what you have. If I had a significant health problem to deal with, darned if I would be worrying about the size of my breasts!  (+ info)

Is supraventricular tachycardia always caused by Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome?

---

I have had a few episodes of SVT and it is now controlled with medication, but after doing some research on my own, I'm wondering if I have this condition.
Supraventricular tachycardia(SVT) is not always caused by Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome(WPW). SVT is any rapid heart rate that origionates frome a site above the ventricles of the heart.These beats usually origionate from the atria at a rate greater than 150 beats per minute. SVT is general term used to describe any rhythm on an EKG that has a narrow QRS complex that is greater than 150 beats per minute. Often you will not be able to tell exactly what the actual heart rhythm is until the heart is slowed down. SVT may actually be atrial fibrilation, atrial flutter or WPW. WPW is a slur in the intitiation of the QRS complex called a delta wave. WPW can only be diagnosed when the heart rate is slow enough to actually be able to see all of the parts of the electrical activity during the cardiac cycle. If you are concerned about whether or not you have this you will need to have an EKG done when you are not in SVT. WPW is treated differently than atrial fibrilation and atrial flutter.  (+ info)

My daughter has Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome and take propranolol is there any long term side effects?

---

My daughter was diagnosed at her two week check up with a heart rate of 278. She is now 2 years old and still has spurts of SVT. Most of the time we do not no until they have passed. She gets pale with dark circles under her eyes, lethargic and does not eat for most of the day. She takes propranolol 3 times a day and I am worried how this med will effect her years from now.
Per the Phycian's Desk Reference Pocket Guide, copyright 2002 (I got this at a local drugstore 1-4-02. I'm NOT a doctor). This is what the book says, regarding your question: ""Inderal" is the brand name for "propranolol". Overdosage: No specific information on Inderal overdosage is available;however, overdose symptoms with other beta blockers (what this drug is--a beta blocker helps block certain chemicals in the brain to keep them from over-producing and causing pain. I have a history of migraines, and take a prevenative that's a beta blocker. I researched beta blockers down...that's how I got my info. about them.)include: Extremely slow heartbeat, irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure, severe congestive heart failure,seizures, wheezing." As for affects later in life...check with her doc. FYI: My dad took this for a short time after a car wreck. Under a doc's guidance, if the patient is ever taken off of this medication, it must be done slowly. If you wish to know more about this issue, talk to her doc...they can tell you more.  (+ info)

Is Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome related to parkinsons disease?

i just heard about this syndrome and just wondered if it is related to parkinson's disease which I know about very well
Completely unrelated disease processes. WPW affects the heart and its conduction pathway while Parkinson's disease affects the brain.  (+ info)

Is Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome rare?

---

I went to the doctor a few months ago and he said he has only seen this heart condition once other time. Does that mean this is rare? Also, What other information can I get besides that it has to do with the electrical currents with my heart? Can I possibly die from this if I don't grow out of it? I'm only 14.
In the united states it is pretty rare, it occurs in 1 to 3 out of 1000 people, but in china it occurs in about 70% of cases of arrthmias.

Yours wont kill you, because your arrthmias can be controlled with procedures or medicine, people rarely die from WPW sydnrome.


There can be other heart problems connected to this disease so you should get checked out to make sure because some of them can be deadly.

You wont grow out of it, you will need to be on medicine or get some procedures to fix it, but you can grow out of a heart problem.

WPW is basically their is an extra pathway that causes your heart to go off beat, thats about all it is.

Good luck, Search google if you want more.  (+ info)

Will Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) get you kicked out of the Army?

Will,
Rather than go into a lengthy and technical description of this subject, I direct your attention to a link which caries details of your question. You should scroll down to paragraph 3 under the heading “Heart”

Do I have Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome?

---

I just saw an article on a 14 year old high school athlete being diagnosed with the Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome. His symptoms of too high a heartbeat when exercising matched my own. I was diagnosed a year ago with "incomplete right bundle branch block" from an electrocardiogram test a couple years ago.

Are the two the same thing? If I knew the name of what I have I could go to other doctors and easier explain the situation. Thanks.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundle_branch_block
No, WPW is an accessory pathway around the AV bundle, where RBBB is a block a little farther down. If you had WPW, it would almost certainly have shown up as "delta waves" on your EKG at the time. There are lots of different ways to get PSVT, which is what I assume has been bothering you, and WPW is only one of them, and though it isn't rare, it isn't all that common, either.  (+ info)

People with WPW(Wolff-parkinson-white-syndrome), has anyone ever had there driving licence taken off them?

---

If your tachycardia causes incapacity (you pass out or become disorientated) then you will be banned from driving.

If you aren't incapacitated then you probably won't be banned.

Once you've had a successful ablation or are controlled by meds then you should be able to get your licence back after a qualifying period.  (+ info)

Medicine for people with Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome?

---

I am 14 years old and I suffer from wolff parkinson white syndrome (also known as WPW) I don't take medication and I haven't had the surgery. I have been living with this my whole life, and have known I have had it since I was about three years old. I can't do sports or be very very activity without worrying about my heart "going out" we call it (which it means without me having an episode of fast heartbeat or worrying about having one) My older sister is a star in sports. She is a pro at soccer, and I have wanted to play soccer my whole life but can't because of this. I can run very, very fast but only for about a full minute without stopping. I can keep my episodes under control so that's why my mom said I don't take medicine for it. I also have cerebral palsy in the right side of my body (but a minor, minor case of it) and a lazy eye. But cannot get the surgery done to fix my heart because of my brain problems. my mom said that the medication is only for people who have episodes almost every day but i can keep mine under control so i don't need it. I really want to fix this problem as much as I can and maybe be able to play on a soccer team one day. Can I take this medication even if I don't have episodes that often? (I have about 4-6 episodes a year, sometimes less) I feel like this will be a very big problem when I get older if I don't fix it as best as i can, I couldn't rush, have children, run, have a enjoyable sex life or anything when im older. would I be a good person to be put on the medicine?
also, I don't do gym and if I did count to take this medicine, what medicine would i be taking?
The appropriate treatment for WPW does depend on the frequency of symptomatic events and the severity of these events. Not everyone with WPW will necessarily need treatment. Treatment options include antiarrhythmic medications or cardiac ablation. The choice of therapy is dependent on the symptoms present and other medical issues. The antiarrhythmics commonly used for WPW include Procainamide, Quinidine, Disopyramide, Propafenone, Amiodarone and Flecainide. These medications are associated with potentially serious side effects, which include some bad abnormal heart rhythms such as ventricular tachycardia. This is why these medications are not used routinely unless someone is having symptoms. The risks and benefits of every treatment should be analyzed prior to making a decision.

Cardiac ablation is a simple procedure in which a catheter is inserted into the heart and the abnormal electrical conduction pathways are ablated/destroyed. Cerebral Palsy is not a known contraindication to cardiac ablation that I am aware of, unless there is something more to the story. It sounds like you do not have many symptoms; therefore you really would not be a candidate for medication or ablation currently. The incidence of sudden death is quite low in patients with WPW, ranging from 0 to 0.39 percent annually in several large case series. Most reports have found no cases of sudden death in asymptomatic patients. You should discuss this with your doctor who knows the details of your medical history. Good luck.  (+ info)

Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome causing arrhythmias after cardiac surgery . is it right iam a patient what i ?

---

i got wpw syndrome when i was born but when iam 23 i know i have that prob what do i do now
You do not state what type of cardiac arrhythmia you had or what type of cardiac surgery was done. Did you have an ablation done? What type of arrhythmia are you experiencing now? If you had an ablation done it is possible for them to reoccur. You should be contacting the Dr. who did your surgery. Best of luck, Donna  (+ info)
