How should patients with asymptomatic pre-excitation be risk-stratified and managed?
This article provides an educational framework for the risk stratification and counseling of patients with asymptomatic pre-excitation.
Emphasizes individualized risk stratification and counseling in asymptomatic pre-excitation; leaves open optimal thresholds for ablation.
Learning objectives⇒ Risk stratify a patient with asymptomatic pre-excitation.⇒ Counsel patients with asymptomatic preexcitation, informing them of their risk of sudden death, and risk/benefits of treatment versus observation.⇒ Identify intermittent pre-excitation on ECG and counsel the patient on its interpretation.⇒ Describe the process of invasive risk stratification in a patient with asymptomatic pre-excitation and counsel patients appropriately.
