Case report does not support practice changes in WPW; leaves open mechanistic roles of conduction degeneration and accessory pathways.
Case Report (n=1)
Detailed post-mortem anatomical analysis of a patient with WPW syndrome revealed extensive degeneration of the conduction system and a direct A-V connection through the mitral annulus.
James et al. (1974) conducted a case report in Type A Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (n=1). Post-mortem examination of a 22-year-old woman with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome revealed extensive degeneration of atrionodal connections and a direct A-V connection through a fault in the mitral annulus.
