Structured PICO

P

Population

1 66-year-old female with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome and sinus node dysfunction, experiencing palpitations and severe bradycardia (sinus arrest) suspected to be exacerbated by disopyramide.

I

Intervention

Radiofrequency catheter ablation of the accessory pathway located in the right ventricular free wall.

O

Outcome

Elimination of tachyarrhythmias and bradyarrhythmias without the need for antiarrhythmic drugs.

Radiofrequency catheter ablation is an effective and safe treatment for WPW syndrome complicated by sinus node dysfunction, avoiding the bradycardic side effects of antiarrhythmic drugs.

Implication

Ablation may resolve tachy- and bradyarrhythmias in WPW with SND without drugs; leaves open generalizability pending larger studies.
