Abstract

The entity of Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome and coronary sinus diverticula when the bypass tract is posteroseptal in location has been described recently. The presence of this diverticulum may complicate arrhythmia surgery and could potentially add to the risk of catheter ablation. We describe a case of Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome in which the diagnosis of a coronary sinus diverticulum was made preoperatively using late-phase coronary angiography and suggest angiography be considered in patients with posteroseptal bypass tracts prior to surgery or catheter ablation.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
