Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome is a syndrome of pre-excitation of the ventricles due to an accessory pathway providing an abnormal electrical communication from the atria to the ventricles. This condition causes people living with Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome to experience rapid heartbeats, heart palpitations, and blackouts. It is not uncommon for people to live with Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome well into adulthood before any they experience any symptoms. The heartbeat originates in a place called the sino-atrial node, situated in the right upper heart chamber. The Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome is diagnosed by the presence of a short PR interval and normal QRS complex on the surface electrocardiogram. If you have Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome, extra tissue in the way of your impulses may sometimes divert from their usual route down the bundle of His and conduct along other electrical tissues. This can sometimes lead to a rapid heartbeat, and possibly symptoms of palpitations and blackouts. Anti-arrhythmetic drugs help many people with Lown-Ganong-Levine or other heart rhythm problems.
