The Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome
New England Journal of Medicine, 1946TO THOSE with extensive electrocardiographic experience, especially if it includes a large proportion of young adults, the finding of the pattern of a short PR interval and a prolonged QRS complex comes as no great surprise.

Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome in Infants
Neonatal Network, 2010Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a ventricular preexcitation that presents as supraventricular tachycardia.

Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome
AACN Advanced Critical Care, 1992Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a cardiac conduction disorder that presents with potentially life-threatening consequences. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome-induced dysrhythmias account for 20% of all supraventricular tachycardias that occur in the general population. Clinical presentations range from no symptoms to a sudden cardiac arrest.

Familial Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
Journal of Electrocardiology, 1982Familial occurrence of Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is uncommon and to date only seven instances have been documented in the literature. We describe another unusual family in which the proband, his father and two of his five brothers (including one who died suddenly) showed WPW conduction.

Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome in Athletes
Current Sports Medicine Reports, 2006Introduction Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a congenital abnormality that involves an accessory pathway between the atria and the ventricles in addition to the normal atrioventricular node-His pathway. This extra pathway can conduct electrical impulses to the ventricles more quickly and can cause pre-excitation arrhythmias to occur [1].
