Aldridge 诊断结果出来了 他罹患的是『沃夫‧巴金森‧怀特症候群』 Kingnet网路医院的资料 http://hospital.kingnet.com.tw/free/quickqa-answer.html?de_id=38&uid=547 （Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome沃夫‧巴金森‧怀特症候群）的特徵是心跳过速。病 患的心脏在上心室和下心室之间有两根传导通道，而不是如同正常人只有一根。 这根多余的通道会造成心脏的不稳定。今年向珠峰挑战的五位英雌，其中一位便是患了这 样的病症。 传统治疗方法是使用抗心律不整药物，虽然心导管电烧术已经逐渐进步，但是其发展的时 间不长，所以电烧的长期效果仍处於评估期。 许多医师仍习惯使用药物来治疗心律不整，至於该给予何种药物则视引起的症状来决定， 有些可以给予一般的病人，有些更强的药物由於容易引起心律不整，所以仅用於住院病人 。 下面是原文 有一堆医学名词@@ 重点是他这季不会回来了 但是这是可以根治的毛病 很幸运不是什麽更严重的问题 患者恢复後可以从事激烈运动包括篮球 http://blog.oregonlive.com/blazers/2007/04/lamarcus_aldridge_diagnosed_wi.html I'm not exactly sure what it is just yet, but news just came across that the cause of LaMarcus Aldridge's dizziness and erratic heartbeat is Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome. From the Trail Blazers press release: Portland Trail Blazers Forward LaMarcus Aldridge underwent a series of tests today at Providence St. Vincent's Medical Center in Portland. He was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW) and was treated for the condition by Dr. Daniel Oseran at St. Vincent's. The procedure was successful. Aldridge will be monitored by a cardiologist and will miss the remainder of the season. He is expected to make a full recovery and be cleared to resume physical activity, including basketball, in the near future. Aldridge, complaining of dizziness, left Portland's game against the Los Angeles Clippers at the Rose Garden on March 31 and has been sidelined since that time. UPDATE: Here's some information about Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome from the American Heart Association: >What is the heart's normal condition? In a normal heart, electrical signals use only one path when they move through the heart. This is the atrio-ventricular or A-V node. As the electrical signal moves from the heart's upper chambers (the atria) to the lower chambers (the ventricles), it causes the heart to beat. For the heart to beat properly, the timing of the electrical signal is important. What is the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome? If there's an extra conduction pathway, the electrical signal may arrive at the ventricles too soon. This condition is called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW). It's in a category of electrical abnormalities called "pre-excitation syndromes." It's recognized by certain changes on the electrocardiogram, which is a graphical record of the heart's electrical activity. The ECG will show that an extra pathway or shortcut exists from the atria to the ventricles. Many people with this syndrome who have symptoms or episodes of tachycardia (rapid heart rhythm) may have dizziness, chest palpitations, fainting or, rarely, cardiac arrest. Other people with WPW never have tachycardia or other symptoms. About 80 percent of people with symptoms first have them between the ages of 11 and 50. How is this syndrome treated? People without symptoms usually don't need treatment. People with episodes of tachycardia can often be treated with medication. But sometimes such treatment doesn't work. Then they'll need to have more tests of their heart's electrical system. The most common procedure used to interrupt the abnormal pathway is radiofrequency or catheter ablation. In this, a flexible tube called a catheter is guided to the place where the problem exists. Then that tissue is destroyed with radiofrequency energy, stopping the electrical pathway. Successful ablation ends the need for medication. Whether a person will be treated with medication or with an ablation procedure depends on several factors. These include the severity and frequency of symptoms, risk for future arrhythmias and patient preference. UPDATE: Here's another good resource for information on WPW. The press release doesn't indicate what kind of procedure Aldridge had, but it sounds like it might have been catheter ablation. Here's some information on that procedure: An area in your groin, neck, shoulder or arm is numbed with a local anesthetic. A small puncture will be made in a vein or artery in one or more of those areas so the electrode catheter, a thin, soft-coated wire, can be inserted. The catheter is then moved toward the heart, while its movement is monitored on a video screen. As part of your ablation, an electrophysiology study (EPS) will be done to provide an electrical "map" of where signals begin in your heart and how often these signals are sent. It helps pinpoint where an ablation should be done. When the exact location is found, the ablation is performed. An ablating electrode catheter is placed near the problem pathway, circuit or node. Energy waves, sent through the catheter, destroy the problem cells, while the rest of the heart muscle is unharmed. If all of your AV node must be ablated, signals will no longer be able to pass from your atria to your ventricles. So, a pacemaker, a small electronic device, must be placed in your body to regulate your heart rhythm. This can be done during the ablation procedure. According to Advocate Christ Medical Centers, the recovery time for such a procedure is only a day or two, which would coincide with the statement that LaMarcus could "resume physical activity, including basketball, in the near future." --
