A Patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome with No Delta Wave
Abstract
We
present a 16-year-old patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome admitted with
syncope and aborted sudden cardiac death. Electrocardiography showed only a
short PR interval without a delta wave. The QRS transition zone was on V2 in
the precordial leads. Twenty-four-hour ambulatory cardiac rhythm monitoring
showed an obvious delta wave only at night-time. Electrophysiologic testing was
performed and a right anteroseptal accessory pathway was ablated from the
noncoronary aortic cusp. ECG after ablation showed sinus rhythm with right
bundle branch block morphology, with no obvious change in the PR duration.
