Lown Ganong Levine syndrome

Last reviewed dd mmm yyyy. Last edited dd mmm yyyy

Authoring team

Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome is the acceleration of the conduction of the cardiac impulse with a normal QRS complex. In this condition there are:

  • short PR intervals and atrial arrhythmias
  • no delta waves

This occurs in the presence of a fast-conducting pathway within the atrioventricular node which causes a short PR interval but permits normal ventricular depolarisation.

The patient may give a history of palpitations.
