Abstract
Aim. To study the distribution of somatometric indicators and indices of patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome.
Material and methods. All patients underwent following clinical and paraclinical investigations: electrocardiography (ECG), Holter ECG monitoring, echocardiography. In addition, we performed somatometric study according to the standard method of V.V. Bunak. The main group consisted of 200 patients with WPW syndrome (men, n=97 (32,6±9,4 years); women, n=103 (47,92±11,6 years)).
Results. Anthropometry performed according to James Tanner revealed that in the general group of WPW syndrome individuals, mesomorphs prevailed (57%). A similar pattern was observed both in the groups of women (25,5%) and men (31,5%). According to the Rees-Eysenck index, the general group of WPW syndrome individuals, normosthenics (37%) and pyknics (38%) prevailed. However, in the group of women, normosthenics prevailed (24%), and in the group of men, pyknics (23,5%). The relationship analysis using Pearson's chi-squared test revealed the following: in the group of women, the WPW syndrome was moderately correlated with the thigh fat fold (0,52), and in the group of men — with the abdominal fat fold (0,56).
Conclusion. Somatometric study, taking into account the indices (J. Tanner, Rees-Eysenck), confirms the relationship between the risk of cardiovascular diseases and overweight. This can be useful for taking preventive measures in relation to groups of people with certain anthropometric features, when assessing the risk of arrhythmias within the concept of personalized medicine.
Supporting agencies: The research is financed by the State Assignment of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation "Creation of a predictive model for cardiac arrhythmias in WPW syndrome" from 2023-2025, № 123022800056-9.

What is already known about the subject?
- In addition to genetic predictors for Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW), phenotypic features can also be identified, which in combination with each other will provide more complete information for the prevention of arrhythmias.
What might this study add?
- Based on the somatometric study, certain somatotypes were identified that may be associated with the risk of WPW syndrome.
How might this impact on clinical practice?
- Somatometric study can be useful for taking preventive measures, developing guidelines, and planned observations of special groups of people with certain anthropometric features, which may allow for the further development of a tool for risk assessment of arrhythmias within the concept of personalized medicine.
