Abstract

Asymmetrical Septal Hypertrophy(ASH), Characterized by interventricular septal hypertrophy, is not an uncommon cardiac disease. Arrythmia occuring in ASH are supraventricular tachycardia, atrial premature beats, and ventricular premature beats. In about 10% of patients, there is a short P-R interval and a partial delta wave, suggestive of a variant of the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. We reported here a case of ASH associated with W-P-W syndrome and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with review of pertinent literatures.
