What are the chances an infant will outgrow WPW and being on digoxin?
Patient: My baby boy has WPW - it was diagnosed during pregnancy and I took flecainide the last 8 weeks of the pregnancy to keep his heartrate steady. Now he is 9 weeks old and on digoxin. My question is: what are the chances that he will outgrow this condition? He has not had any episodes since being born and being on digoxin. Doctor: Wolf parkinson white syndrome is an inherent condition involving defective conduction through the heart. it is unlikely that your child will outgrow this condition. treatments include drugs to prevent arrhythmias & definitive treatment involves ablation of defective pathways. you would have to consult a paediatric cardiologist for further details
