Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome (WPWS) is a disorder due to a specific type of problem with the electrical system of the heart involving an accessory pathway able to conduct electrical current between the atria and the ventricles, thus bypassing the atrioventricular node.
12 lead electrocardiogram of an individual with Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome exhibiting 'slurred upstrokes' or 'delta waves' before the QRS complexes. An episode of SVT may present with palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, or losing consciousness (fainting). The electrocardiogram (ECG) would appear as a narrow-complex SVT.
The combination of an accessory pathway that causes pre-excitation with arrhythmias is known as Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome. [ 2 ] Accessory pathways are often diagnosed using an electrocardiogram, but characterisation and location of the pathway may require an electrophysiological study .

Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) is a relatively common abnormality with an accessory pathway, the bundle of Kent crossing the AV valvular ring. [21] In orthodromic AVRT, atrial impulses are conducted down through the AV node and retrogradely re-enter the atrium via the accessory pathway.
This WPW pattern doesn’t typically cause any symptoms and it’s relatively benign. In some cases, however, this pattern can facilitate certain arrhythmias, or basically make certain arrhythmias more severe and potentially even cause sudden cardiac death, in which case it would be called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome is a common conduction pattern in Danon disease. Symptoms in females progress more slowly than in males. Some females may have visual disturbances, and/or retinal pigment abnormalities; Danon Disease is rare and unfamiliar to most physicians.
Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome (WPW) is a pre-excitation syndrome in which individuals are predisposed to supraventricular tachyarrhythmias (rapid and irregular heart beats). [6] People with this condition have an extra or accessory atrioventricular conduction pathway that causes re-entry tachycardia. [6]
