Abstract

Paediatric patients with ventricular pre-excitation/asymptomatic WPW syndrome have a higher risk of atrial fibrillation degenerating into ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac death (SCD). In more than half of these patients this can be the first symptom presenting. Hence, it is important to conduct a risk stratification for SCD in asymptomatic patients with pre-excitation/delta wave in the ECGs. In this review, invasive risk stratification by electrophysiologic testing and ablation is recommended when possible. Catheter ablation is reported to have a high rate of success and low risk of complications.
