Thanks, Jimbo.

I have a PCD (pacemaker and ICD in one). They said I
have wpw type B. Left with the anterograte accessory
pathway. When they ablated the AV node, why not
ablated that as well.

Thanks for the information. I hope mine one would not
play the "Merry Go Round".

Cheow.

Does this help any?

However, in WPW, an extra electrical pathway exists
between the atria
and the ventricles. This extra pathway may at times
encourage a rapid
rhythm. Instead of allowing the next heart beat to
begin at the SA
node, the extra pathway can "pick up" an electrical
impulse in the
ventricles and send it abnormally back upward to the
atria. When this
happens, the impulse begins to travel abnormally in a
rapid, circular
manner, causing a rapid heart rate.
