Overview

Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is the occurrence of arrhythmia in the presence of an accessory pathway. WPW can be classified according to the site of origin, location in the mitral or tricuspid annulus except at the aortomitral continuity (left anteroseptal region), type of conduction (antegrade vs retrograde), and characteristics of the conduction (decremental vs nondecremental). In addition, WPW can be classified based on the type of atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia (AVRT) it causes, which can be either orthodromic (~95% of the cases) or antidromic.[1]

Classification

The accessory pathway may be localized on ECG during preexcitation based on the delta wave axis and P-wave axis.

Delta-wave axis

  • Negative delta in V1 indicates a left-sided accessory pathway[4][5]
  • Negative delta in lead 1 and avl or 2,3,avf indicates left free wall or left posterior accessory pathway
  • rsR` or QR complexes in V1 in the absent of incomplete RBBB, indicates left-sided septal accessory pathway
  • Negative delta in lead 2, the positive delta in Avr ,deep s wave in V6 indicates postroseptal accessory pathway within the coronary sinus
  • LBBB pattern, transitioning zone before V4, the positive delta in 2,3,avf indicates an anteroseptal accessory pathway

P-wave axis

  • Positive P wave in AVR, negative P wave in AVL indicates left-sided accessory pathway[6]
  • Positive P wave in AVL, negative P wave in AVR indicates right-sided accessory pathway
  • Superior axis in P waves indicates a posteroseptal accessory pathway
  • Inferior axis in P waves indicates the anteroseptal accessory pathway

Classification Based on the Type of Conduction

The accessory pathway in WPW may be classified into:[1]

  • Antegrade conduction: also known as manifest, responsible for the "pre-excitation" finding on ECG
  • Retrograde conduction: also known as concealed

Most commonly, the accessory pathways conduct in both directions. Isolated retrograde conduction is less common. Isolated antegrade conduction is the least common and is usually associated with accessory pathways in the right side of the heart.

Classification Based on the Characteristics of Conduction

  • Decremental conduction (8% of the cases)
    • Decremental conduction is the progressive delay in the conduction through the accessory pathway following an increase in the paced rates.
  • Non-decremental conduction (92% of the cases)[1]

Classification Based on the Type of AVRT

The most common arrhythmia in WPW syndrome is atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia (AVRT). AVRT in WPW can be classified into:[1]
