Why the study?
Does ablation affect the presence of early repolarization in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome?
Does ablation affect the presence of early repolarization in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome?
In patients with WPW syndrome, early repolarization often persists or appears newly after ablation, indicating that mechanisms beyond accessory pathway depolarization contribute to its genesis.
ER in WPW should not be attributed solely to the accessory pathway; leaves open non-AP mechanisms and requires prospective confirmation.
In patients with WPW syndrome, ER could be partly related to early depolarization through the accessory pathway. However, persistent ER and new ER appearing after the ablation were frequently found. Therefore, in these patients, mechanisms other than early depolarization may be involved in the genesis of ER.
