Overview
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is named after the cardiologists, Louis Wolff, John Parkinson and Paul Dudley White who gave a definitive description of the disorder in 1930.
Historical Perspective
Described more than 50 yrs ago and named for John Parkinson, Paul Dudley White (Paul Dudley White is a M.G.H. physician, evaluated a series of 11 healthy young patients who had attacks of paroxysmal tachycardias in the presence of an EKG which showed a bundle branch block pattern with a short PR interval), and Louis Wolff.[1][2]
British physiologist Albert Frank Stanley Kent (1863 - 1958), first described the lateral branches in the atrioventricular groove of the monkey heart (erroneously believing these constituted the normal atrioventricular conduction system) which was later named accessory bundle of Kent.[3][4]
In 1915, Frank Norman Wilson (1890 - 1952) became the first to describe the condition which would later be referred to as Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome.[5] Alfred M. Wedd (1887 - 1967) was the next to describe the condition in 1921.[6] Cardiologists Louis Wolff (1898 - 1972), John Parkinson (1885 - 1976) and Paul Dudley White (1886 - 1973) are credited with the definitive description of the disorder in 1930.[7]
