Key result
Transesophageal electrophysiological study in asymptomatic children with WPW induced atrial fibrillation in 12 children and dangerous forms in 18%, while 71% had no inducible arrhythmia.

May inform risk stratification with transesophageal EPS in asymptomatic pediatric WPW; leaves open whether inducibility predicts events or safely guides activity resumption.
Observational (n=55)
What are the electrophysiological findings and prognostic value of exercise testing and transesophageal EPS in asymptomatic children with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome?
Transesophageal EPS is useful for risk stratification in asymptomatic children with WPW syndrome, identifying a large majority (71%) who have no inducible arrhythmia and can safely resume physical activities.
Brembilla‐Perrot et al. (2007) conducted an observational in Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome (n=55). Exercise testing and transesophageal electrophysiological study was evaluated on Feasibility and results of exercise testing and electrophysiological study. Transesophageal electrophysiological study in asymptomatic children with WPW induced atrial fibrillation in 12 children and dangerous forms in 18%, while 71% had no inducible arrhythmia.
