Consolidates evidence on SCD risk stratification in WPW; leaves open need for prospective trials to guide management.
The presence of a Wolf-Parkinson-White (WPW) pattern is not uncommonly discovered on a life insurance applicant's ECG. How does one determine the appropriate mortality risk in this population? This article will discuss the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD), the interpretation of electrophysiology testing results, and risk-stratification both for asymptomatic individuals and those who have had ablation treatment.
