Aldridge 診斷結果出來了 他罹患的是『沃夫‧巴金森‧懷特症候群』

(Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome沃夫‧巴金森‧懷特症候群)的特徵是心跳過速。病
患的心臟在上心室和下心室之間有兩根傳導通道,而不是如同正常人只有一根。
這根多餘的通道會造成心臟的不穩定。今年向珠峰挑戰的五位英雌,其中一位便是患了這
樣的病症。
傳統治療方法是使用抗心律不整藥物,雖然心導管電燒術已經逐漸進步,但是其發展的時
間不長,所以電燒的長期效果仍處於評估期。
許多醫師仍習慣使用藥物來治療心律不整,至於該給予何種藥物則視引起的症狀來決定,
有些可以給予一般的病人,有些更強的藥物由於容易引起心律不整,所以僅用於住院病人
。
下面是原文 有一堆醫學名詞@@
重點是他這季不會回來了 但是這是可以根治的毛病 很幸運不是什麼更嚴重的問題
患者恢復後可以從事激烈運動包括籃球

I'm not exactly sure what it is just yet, but news just came across that the
cause of LaMarcus Aldridge's dizziness and erratic heartbeat is
Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome. From the Trail Blazers press release:
Portland Trail Blazers Forward LaMarcus Aldridge underwent a series of tests
today at Providence St. Vincent's Medical Center in Portland. He was
diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW) and was treated for the
condition by Dr. Daniel Oseran at St. Vincent's. The procedure was
successful.
Aldridge will be monitored by a cardiologist and will miss the remainder of
the season. He is expected to make a full recovery and be cleared to resume
physical activity, including basketball, in the near future.
Aldridge, complaining of dizziness, left Portland's game against the Los
Angeles Clippers at the Rose Garden on March 31 and has been sidelined since
that time.
UPDATE: Here's some information about Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome from the
American Heart Association:
>What is the heart's normal condition?
In a normal heart, electrical signals use only one path when they move
through the heart. This is the atrio-ventricular or A-V node. As the
electrical signal moves from the heart's upper chambers (the atria) to the
lower chambers (the ventricles), it causes the heart to beat. For the heart
to beat properly, the timing of the electrical signal is important.
What is the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome?
If there's an extra conduction pathway, the electrical signal may arrive at
the ventricles too soon. This condition is called Wolff-Parkinson-White
syndrome (WPW). It's in a category of electrical abnormalities called
"pre-excitation syndromes."
It's recognized by certain changes on the electrocardiogram, which is a
graphical record of the heart's electrical activity. The ECG will show that
an extra pathway or shortcut exists from the atria to the ventricles.
Many people with this syndrome who have symptoms or episodes of tachycardia
(rapid heart rhythm) may have dizziness, chest palpitations, fainting or,
rarely, cardiac arrest. Other people with WPW never have tachycardia or other
symptoms. About 80 percent of people with symptoms first have them between
the ages of 11 and 50.
How is this syndrome treated?
People without symptoms usually don't need treatment. People with episodes of
tachycardia can often be treated with medication. But sometimes such
treatment doesn't work. Then they'll need to have more tests of their heart's
electrical system.
The most common procedure used to interrupt the abnormal pathway is
radiofrequency or catheter ablation. In this, a flexible tube called a
catheter is guided to the place where the problem exists. Then that tissue is
destroyed with radiofrequency energy, stopping the electrical pathway.
Successful ablation ends the need for medication. Whether a person will be
treated with medication or with an ablation procedure depends on several
factors. These include the severity and frequency of symptoms, risk for
future arrhythmias and patient preference.
UPDATE: Here's another good resource for information on WPW. The press
release doesn't indicate what kind of procedure Aldridge had, but it sounds
like it might have been catheter ablation. Here's some information on that
procedure:
An area in your groin, neck, shoulder or arm is numbed with a local
anesthetic. A small puncture will be made in a vein or artery in one or more
of those areas so the electrode catheter, a thin, soft-coated wire, can be
inserted. The catheter is then moved toward the heart, while its movement is
monitored on a video screen.
As part of your ablation, an electrophysiology study (EPS) will be done to
provide an electrical "map" of where signals begin in your heart and how
often these signals are sent. It helps pinpoint where an ablation should be
done.
When the exact location is found, the ablation is performed. An ablating
electrode catheter is placed near the problem pathway, circuit or node.
Energy waves, sent through the catheter, destroy the problem cells, while the
rest of the heart muscle is unharmed.
If all of your AV node must be ablated, signals will no longer be able to
pass from your atria to your ventricles. So, a pacemaker, a small electronic
device, must be placed in your body to regulate your heart rhythm. This can
be done during the ablation procedure.
According to Advocate Christ Medical Centers, the recovery time for such a
procedure is only a day or two, which would coincide with the statement that
LaMarcus could "resume physical activity, including basketball, in the near
future."
