Ventricular pre-excitation (Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern) Louis Wolff, Sir John Parkinson and Paul Dudley White, who discovered the phenomenon that later would be called the WPW syndrome. The upstroke of the QRS-complex is 'slurred', resulting in a delta-wave (arrow).
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, or WPW syndrome, is a type of arrhythmia. WPW syndrome is a supraventricular tachycardia â a fast heart rhythm, with a rate of more than 100 beats per minute. It begins above the ventricles, the heartâs two lower chambers. WPW syndrome occurs when you have an extra electrical pathway, or circuit, in your heart, which leads to episodes of tachycardia. You may have a related condition known as Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern. This harmless condition occurs when there is an extra electrical pathway but periods of tachycardia donât occur.
