Identical location of accessory pathways in family members with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, although theoretically possible, has never been described. A 37-year-old woman and her 18-year-old son were referred for electrophysiological study due to fast rate palpitations and pre-excitation on baseline electrocardiogram. After mapping during pre-excitation, successful radiofrequency application was located at the right free wall in both patients, in an identical anatomical position, on the infero-lateral aspect of the tricuspid ring.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
