Key result
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome was associated with abnormal ventricular contraction patterns on echocardiography, including delayed interventricular septum motion (P<0.001).
Why the study?
Does abnormal ventricular activation in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome alter the ventricular contraction pattern on echocardiography compared to normal subjects?
Cross-Sectional (n=30)
Does abnormal ventricular activation in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome alter the ventricular contraction pattern on echocardiography compared to normal subjects?
p-value: p=<0.001
Echocardiography reveals distinct, localized premature ventricular contractions and altered septal motion in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, reflecting abnormal ventricular activation.

Echocardiography may detect WPW-related dyssynchrony; leaves open whether patterns inform risk stratification or ablation decisions.
DeMaria et al. (1976) conducted a cross-sectional in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (n=30). Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome vs. Normal subjects was evaluated on Ventricular contraction pattern (motion of RV, IVS, and LVPW) (p=<0.001). Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome was associated with abnormal ventricular contraction patterns on echocardiography, including delayed interventricular septum motion (P<0.001).
