Management Algorithm

Algorithm as per PACES/HRS Expert Consensus Statement on the management of asymptomatic young patient with WPW syndrome[1]:


Adapted from Cohen et al. Heart Rhythm 2012;9:1006-1024[1]

Footnote: *Patients unable to perform an exercise test should undergo risk-stratification with an electrophysiologic study; # Counselling should be provided regarding symtpom awareness; Prior to invasive testing, patients should be counseled regarding the risks and benefits of the studies; Patients participating at moderate-level competitive sports should be counseled regarding the risk-benefit of ablation and follow the Bethesda Conference guidelines[2]; SPERRI: Shortest pre-excitd RR interval
