Abstract:
One case of cerebral embolism developed during cessation of supraventricular tachycardia in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is reported with brief review. Twenty five years old, male was admitted to Seoul National University hospital with palpitation. He had numerous episodes of paroxysmal tachycardia for 3 years. He was diagnosed as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome at this hospital, ca 6 months prior to admission. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome was improved with atropine test at that time. The electrocardiogram on admission revealed Wolff-Parkinson-White synd rome associated with supraventricular tachycardia. He developed cerebral embolism after paroxysmal tachycardia of 22 days.
