Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern and risk of sudden death

In this volume of The Journal, Chubb et al report the results of a survey of pediatric cardiac electrophysiologists on the management of patients identified with the Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) pattern on electrocardiogram (ECG) with no symptoms. They report that many electrophysiologists are being more aggressive about using invasive electrophysiology studies with subsequent ablation as treatment than the most current guidelines would suggest.
