Why the study?
Do asymptomatic children with ventricular pre-excitation have a different risk of sudden cardiac death compared to those with symptomatic WPW syndrome based on electrophysiological characteristics?
Population
124 consecutive young patients with ventricular pre-excitation, including 51 with Wolff-Parkinson-White…
Comparison
Transoesophageal electrophysiological study vs Symptomatic WPW syndrome vs. asymptomatic VPE

Similar AF inducibility and short SPERRI in asymptomatic versus symptomatic pediatric WPW; leaves open whether uniform EP risk stratification applies.
Do asymptomatic children with ventricular pre-excitation have a different risk of sudden cardiac death compared to those with symptomatic WPW syndrome based on electrophysiological characteristics?
Asymptomatic children with ventricular pre-excitation have similar electrophysiological risk markers for sudden cardiac death as those with symptomatic WPW syndrome, suggesting they may warrant similar risk stratification.
