==Overview==
The [[prevalence]] of [[ WPW syndrome]] is approximately 100-300 per 100000 individuals worldwide. The [[incidence]] of [[tachyarrhythmia]] was estimated to be 1000 cases per 100000 individuals in the year in patients with [[WPW ]] pattern. The [[incidence]] of [[sudden cardiac death]] in patients with [[Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome]] was estimated to be 70-450 per 100000 patient-years. [[WPW]] syndrome is more commonly observed among young patients. In one study [[ WPW syndrome]] was observed in 7% of individuals over 60-year-old. [[Men]] are more commonly affected with [[WPW syndrome]] than [[women]]. The [[men]] to [[women]] ratio is approximately 2 to 1. There is no racial predilection for [[WPW syndrome]].

The same happens in patients with atrial fibrillation, observed in 5% of the patients with WPW syndrome; this arrhythmia may provoke multiform ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation and sudden death. Sudden death occurs in 0.1% of asymptomatic patients with WPW in 1% in those with reciprocal tachycardias and in 5.6% of the patients with atrial fibrillation and R-R intervals of 250 mseg of less.

Overview

The prevalence of WPW syndrome is approximately 100-300 per 100000 individuals worldwide. The incidence of tachyarrhythmia was estimated to be 1000 cases per 100000 individuals in the year in patients with WPW pattern. The incidence of sudden cardiac death in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome was estimated to be 70-450 per 100000 patient-years. WPW syndrome is more commonly observed among young patients. In one study WPW syndrome was observed in 7% of individuals over 60-year-old. Men are more commonly affected with WPW syndrome than women. The men to women ratio is approximately 2 to 1. There is no racial predilection for WPW syndrome.

Epidemiology and Demographics











  • Estimated prevalence of WPW syndrome is 1 - 3 per 1000 people in the entire world.[1]
  • Prevalence increases in first degree relatives in which it can get as high as 5-6 per 1000 people.[1]
  • The incidence of tachyarrhythmias is not well established in patients who present WPW pattern. It has been reported that the incidence of tachyarrhytmias is approximately 1% per year in patients with WPW pattern.[2]
  • The incidence of sudden cardiac death in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern is not high. A serious of studies have been performed and found a that this events appear in a range of 0.7 tp 4.5 per 1000 patient-years.[1][7][4]
  • Incidence of WPW is higher in men than in women in a ratio of approximately 2:1. Also, atrial fibrillation and ventricular fibrillation are more common in men than in women with WPW.[8]
  • Incidence of Orthodromic AVRT is more common in women than in men.[9]
  • The presentation of symptoms in patients without heart structural abnormalities has been found to be age dependent.[1]
  • The frequency of Supraventricular tachycardias (SVT) usually decrease during the first year in more than 90% of the patients.[1]
  • In 30% of the patients, tachycardias recur during childhood at a mean age of 7 to 8 years of age.[1]
  • When patients with WPW present persistent symptomatic tachycardias over 5 years of age, they usually continue presenting SVT episodes for more than a decade later in 75% of the cases.[1]
  • The occurrence of atrial fibrillation in patients with WPW ha been estimated in between 10% to 30%.[10][11]
* There is no racial predilection for WPW syndrome.
