Clinical and epidemiological features of manifestations of Wolf – Parkinson – White syndrome in men of draft age with increased dysplastic stigmatization

Abstract. Clinical and epidemiological and electrocardiographic features of Wolf – Parkinson – White syndrome in men of military age were studied. The study was a retrospective study with a solid sample of patients. Of the 1,9056 men residents of St. Petersburg between the ages of 18 and 27, Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome was identified in 107 (0,56%) people. The disease was asymptomatic in 38 (35,5%) patients. All identified individuals with Wolf – Parkinson – White syndrome, in addition to asthenic Constitution type, which was observed in 68,2% of cases, were assessed for signs of systemic connective tissue involvement. It was found that flat feet, scoliosis or kyphosis, myopia, as well as mitral valve prolapse and abnormally located chords in the left ventricle of the heart are detected in almost every second man of military age. Due to the inability to assess the presence of all signs of systemic connective tissue involvement, the isolation of specific variants of dysplastic phenotypes in patients with Wolf – Parkinson – White syndrome was not performed. It was found that in the presence of increased dysplastic stigmatization, the clinical course of Wolf – Parkinson – White syndrome is characterized by a lower number of asymptomatic cases (6,3 and 16,7%, respectively; p<0,05), an increase in the frequency of paroxysmal tachyarrhythmias (81,5 and 63,1%, respectively; p<0,05) and a high incidence of vegetative-vascular disorders (82,8 and 15,4%, respectively; p<0,05).
