Why the study?
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome can cause pre-excited atrial fibrillation leading to supraventricular tachycardias and sudden cardiac death, but specific characteristics and management strategies require elucidation.

This case report highlights the characteristics and management of pre-excited atrial fibrillation in a patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome involves abnormal electrical conduction in the heart through accessory pathways. Pre-excited atrial fibrillation arises from the non-decremental conduction of atrial fibrillation to the ventricles via these pathways, resulting in supraventricular tachycardias and, albeit rarely, sudden cardiac death due to ventricular fibrillation. Our case report aims to elucidate the specific characteristics of this condition and explore different methods of managing it.
