What Are The Chances An Infant Will Outgrow WPW And Being On Digoxin?
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.

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
