What are the differences in electrophysiologic characteristics between children and adults with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation?
Pediatric patients with WPW syndrome exhibit distinct electrophysiologic characteristics, including shorter refractory periods and a higher incidence of multiple pathways, compared to adults.
Lee et al. (2006) studied this question.
