Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) is an alteration of the heart's electrical system in which there is an additional conduction pathway between the atria and the ventricles, which can trigger episodes of rapid heart rhythm.
Common symptoms: Some people have no discomfort, while others notice palpitations, a feeling that the heart is beating very fast, dizziness, shortness of breath, or, at times, fainting.
When to seek care? A medical evaluation is advisable with recurrent palpitations, episodes of a very rapid pulse with no apparent cause, or loss of consciousness.
Which specialist treats it? Its study falls to the cardiologist, and in minors also to the pediatric cardiologist; the pediatrician can guide the first visit. If you have had symptoms like these, the wisest thing is to schedule a cardiology checkup to understand your case.
