Aborted sudden cardiac death as first presentation of Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) can be the first clinical manifestation of Wolff–Parkinson–White (WPW) syndrome.Catheter ablation of accessory pathways is now a safe and effective procedure, and is widely recommended in patients with WPW syndrome. However, management of the asymptomatic WPW patient remai...
