The Effect of Accessory Pathway Location on Cardiac Function in Adult Patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome.

Conclusions: Anterograde conduction with a septal or right free wall accessory pathway may cause left ventricular dyssynchrony and impair left ventricular function. Intraventricular left ventricular dyssynchrony seems to be responsible for the pathogenesis of left ventricular dysfunction. Radiofrequency catheter ablation results in decreased NT-proBNP levels, normalized QRS duration, mechanical resynchronization, and improved left ventricular function. PMID: 33489357 [PubMed]
