An Unusual Case of Alternating Ventricular Morphology on the 12-Lead Electrocardiogram.
    The Journal of emergency medicine, 2017, Volume: 52, Issue:3

    One of the principal tasks of an emergency physician is identifying potentially life-threatening conditions in the undifferentiated patient; cardiac dysrhythmia is an example of such a condition. A systematic approach to a patient with atypical dysrhythmia enables proper identification of such-life threatening conditions.. We describe a 31-year-old man presenting to the emergency department with an undifferentiated dysrhythmia after naloxone reversal of an opiate overdose. A systematic approach to the electrocardiogram led to the rare diagnosis of Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) alternans. We review the differential diagnosis of this dysrhythmia and the initial evaluation of a patient with the WPW pattern present on their electrocardiogram. WHY SHOULD AN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN BE AWARE OF THIS?: Emergency physicians should be prepared to use a systematic approach to an undifferentiated dysrhythmia to identify potentially life-threatening conditions.

Hyperbaric intrathecal morphine analgesia during labor in a patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
    Obstetrics and gynecology, 1984, Volume: 64, Issue:3 Suppl

    The Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome can complicate the anesthetic management of the pregnant patient. These patients are prone to arrhythmia that can be accompanied by hypotension. Maintenance of a stable heart rhythm is necessary for both maternal and fetal well-being. An optimal anesthetic regimen that provides minimal cardiac and hemodynamic changes has not been determined. Intrathecal administration of opiates for obstetric analgesia has been found to provide hemodynamic stability because no motor or sympathetic blockade occurs. The authors report the successful use of intrathecal injection of morphine for labor analgesia in a patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
