Does routine invasive management prevent SCD and supraventricular tachycardia in asymptomatic patients with the Wolff-Parkinson-White ECG pattern?
Routine invasive management is generally not warranted in asymptomatic patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White due to the low baseline risk of sudden cardiac death and arrhythmias.
Obeyesekere et al. (2012) studied this question.
