Supports ablation decisions in symptomatic WPW; leaves open prospective validation for asymptomatic risk stratification.
This review outlines the ECG features, risks, and management strategies for pre-excitation and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, highlighting catheter ablation as first-line therapy for symptomatic patients.
Michael Sampson (2016) conducted a review in Pre-excitation / Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW). Catheter ablation was evaluated. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome carries a 3-4% lifetime risk of sudden cardiac death, and catheter ablation is the first-line treatment for symptomatic patients with a 95% success rate.
