This document discusses and compares two types of arrhythmias: Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a clinical syndrome caused by an extra pathway between the atria and ventricles that leads to increased heart rate. Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome consists of paroxysms of increased heart rate caused by accelerated conduction through the atrioventricular node by direct connection to the bundle of His. The electrocardiograms for each syndrome are compared, with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome having a short PR interval, wide QRS complex and delta wave, while Lown-Ganong-Levine
