Patient's question:
Dad carefully checked and found that he had preexcitation syndrome with atrial fibrillation. What is the meaning of preexcitation syndrome with atrial fibrillation?Doctor's answer:
Preexcitation syndrome, also known as WPW syndrome, refers to the presence of anticipated patterns on the electrocardiogram (ECG) and atrial arrhythmia, where a small portion or all of the new impulses are prematurely initiated. Clinical diagnosis involves recurrent tachycardia. Atrial fibrillation (AF), in full, is caused by multiple ectopic pacemaker points in the atria emitting arrhythmia at different speeds. It is recommended that your father actively cooperate with the doctor, adopt drug treatment, and consider radiofrequency ablation and surgical intervention if necessary.
