Afib occurs in 10-30% of individuals with WPW, and is a potentially life-threatening emergency. Persistent Afib with rapid ventricular response in patients with WPW can ultimately deteriorate into ventricular fibrillation (VFib).Acute treatment is aimed at prompt control of Vfib and termination of Afib as follows:- Hemodynamically unstable patients require immediate electrical cardioversion- For stable patients

Read moreHypovolemic hyponatremia?,”Hypovolemic hyponatremia can be due to acute blood loss, renal (eg, diuretics) or GI (eg, diarrhea, vomiting) volume loss, or primary adrenal insufficiency. Volume depletion from these conditions results in loss of both sodium and water. Hypovolemia decreases effective arterial volume to the kidney, which activates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. This leads to increased renin, angiotensin
