Why the study?

Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is generally considered a benign disease, and this report describes a rare case of sudden cardiac death in a patient with WPW and a mild myocardial bridge.

Population

A 25-year-old man with known WPW syndrome and a mild myocardial bridge

Design

Case report

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

Postmortem genetic testing may aid SCD diagnosis in WPW; leaves open causal contribution of mild bridges in broader populations.

Structured PICO

Population

25-year-old man with known Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome and a mild myocardial bridge

Intervention

Autopsy and whole exome sequencing

Outcome

Cause of death and identification of genetic variations related to sudden cardiac death

Sudden cardiac death can occur in WPW patients with mild or unrecognized structural abnormalities, and postmortem genetic examination can assist in diagnosis.
