Preexcitation Syndrome treatment in Mérida

Preexcitation syndrome is a disorder in which there is an additional electrical pathway in the heart that allows impulses to reach the ventricles earlier than usual, which can favor accelerated heart rhythms.

How it may present: palpitations, a sensation of a rapid heartbeat, dizziness or, in some cases, no symptoms and detection on an electrocardiogram.

When is it worth getting checked? In the presence of episodes of tachycardia, fainting, or recurrent palpitations.

Which specialist evaluates it? The cardiologist studies the electrical activity of the heart and provides follow-up; in children the pediatric cardiologist is involved. If you experience an accelerated heartbeat with no explanation, scheduling a cardiology evaluation is the most appropriate course.
