Treating Wolff-Parkinson-White-Syndrome

Long-Term Medical Therapy

Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome does not typically warrant long-term medical therapy. However, it does exist as a therapeutic option for patients with more serious heart arrhythmias. With this in mind, however, these treatments must be undergone under the strict supervision of a doctor, as complications can arise when following treatment for an extended period. Patients who are considered especially high risk, such as those with other conditions that can be affected by a heart arrhythmia, must be treated and monitored accordingly, as maneuvers and the occasional medicine will not be sufficient to make a lasting difference.
