AB  - This  is  a  medical  condition  characterized  by  ventricular  preexcitation  conduction  defects,  associated  with  a  short  P-R  interval  and  a  wide  QRS  complex.  It  is  reported  that  40%  of  individuals  affected  with  this  electrical  problem  never  develop  symptoms.  The  clinical  features  include  palpitations  at  rest,  dyspnea,  headache,  and  syncope.  Ultimately,  cardiac  arrest  may  occur  with  sudden  death.  The  risk  of  death  in  those  without  symptoms  is  about  0.5%  per  year  in  children  and  0.1%  per  year  in  adults.  The  most  common  type  of  arrhythmia  is  determined  as  paroxysmal  supraventricular  tachycardia.  The  cardiac  anomaly  most  frequently  associated  with  this  problem  is  Ebstein’s  anomaly.
