Key result
A 25-year-old male with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome who suffered an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest was successfully treated with radiofrequency catheter ablation.
Why the study?
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome carries a lifetime risk of malignant arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, emphasizing the need to recall its presentation and the role of invasive risk stratification.

Case supports ablation post-arrest in WPW; leaves open optimal risk stratification in asymptomatic patients.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the potential for sudden cardiac death as an initial presentation of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and supports the role of invasive risk stratification and ablation.
Pereira et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (n=1). Radiofrequency catheter ablation was evaluated. A 25-year-old male with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome who suffered an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest was successfully treated with radiofrequency catheter ablation.
