Mashup Score: 0Approach to a patient with asymptomatic pre-excitation - 9 month(s) ago
### Learning objectives Ventricular pre-excitation is an electrocardiographic finding characterised by a delta wave and short PR interval. It is estimated that 1 in 1000 people will exhibit this pattern on the ECG; however, the true prevalence is likely under-represented because at least half of known patients with pre-excitation do not develop symptoms.1 This ECG pattern indicates the presence of an accessory atrioventricular pathway (AP), an alternate electrical connection between atria and ventricles bypassing the normal His-Purkinje system. APs can conduct in antegrade direction, retrograde direction or both. Approximately 60%–75% of these pathways are considered ‘manifest’, meaning they are capable of antegrade conduction, and can inscribe the classic pre-excitation pattern on the ECG, and the rest are ‘concealed’, meaning they are only capable of retrograde conduction, cannot produce pre-excitation, but can still participate in atrioventricular (AV) re-entry tachycardias.

Mashup Score: 10Asymptomatic Ventricular Preexcitation (Wolff-Parkinson-White Pattern): When to Be Concerned - American College of Cardiology - 2 year(s) ago
Quick Takes A significant proportion of patients with ventricular preexcitation remain asymptomatic yet at the risk of life-threatening arrhythmias. Intermittent ventricular preexcitation during ambulatory monitoring or abrupt and complete termination of accessory pathway conduction during stress testing suggests a low-risk pathway. Shortest preexcited RR…
