Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW) is recognized as an
abnormality of cardiac rhythm that manifests as supraventricular
tachycardia. Few practitioners today appreciate how much the
development of clinical cardiac electrophysiology owes to
Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome. In the early 1960s, it became the
test bed for electrophysiological theory and new therapies.
Surgical electrophysiological techniques were developed, the
pathways were severed, and the patient was often left with an
entirely normal heart. This was an important first in modern
cardiology - a complete cure. The aim of the Clinical Approaches to
Tachyarryhthmias series is to update the physician, cardiologist,
and all those responsible for the the care of patients with cardiac
arrhythmias. In this volume, the authors unfold the story of WPW,
its precise diagnosis by use of electrocardiography, its successful
management and its near extinction in parts of the world reached by
modern medical technology, and the remaining challenge it
represents in pediatric medicine and in other parts of the globe.
