WPW is WOLFF-PARKINSON-WHITE syndrome. You heart will speed up, and not slow down. My hart beat got to 231... the norm for most people is 60-90 beats per minute. I need to have Catheter Ablation, thats 8-10 hrs long in the OR. Has anyone had this procedure???

    Sorry to hear that. Hope you get well soon. Is this a one time treatment? Or, do you have to follow up every once in a while? My old hunting buddy is in the hospital for symptoms very close to yours. He has very severe anxiety attacks and his heart races to over 200. Also, respiratory problems to go along with it. Anyway, glad to see you are posting.....[^][:D]

    Yo, IGB; it's not a bad procedure.
    My Dad went through the very same thing about a year ago. They pass a small tube into your artery and try to get your electrons in a row or something. The heart gets fired by a nerve that sits just outside one of the valves, and sometimes the nerve "hiccups", like when your leg gets to twitching a muscle all by itself sometimes, and when the tube is in there; they try to re-time the hiccup.
    They went in through his leg, since his arms are so tough. He got a lot better in about 3 weeks. His only lasting after-effect is the huge bruise he still has on the inside of his thigh. No pain, but it looks awful!

    You'll be OK in no time, Pard!

    If you know it all; you must have been listening.WEAR EAR PROTECTION!

    I've got chronic atrial fibrillation - sounds a lot like what you describe, but untreatable. It wrecked my entire life.
