Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome


Overview and Facts about Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome

Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome is a heart condition that causes a disruption in the heart’s normal rhythm causing an arrhythmia (irregular or abnormal heartbeat). Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is present at birth (congenital) and those born with it have an extra connection in the heart, known as an accessory pathway.

This extra connection can disrupt the intricate pathway of electrical signals through the heart, leading to changes in heart rhythm, such as increasing the speed of the heartbeat (tachycardia).
