[Survived sudden cardiac death in aortic stenosis and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome: Differential diagnosis and therapy].
Based on a case of a 72 year old woman with hemodynamically non-significant aortic stenosis. WPW-syndrome and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the diagnostic assessment and differential diagnosis of potentially fatal arrhythmias are discussed. In particular, the incidence of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias in patients with WPW-syndrome, their prognostic impact and therapeutic options are outlined.
