Overview
The incidence of sudden cardiac death is between 0% and 0.6% in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome,[1][2][3][4] particularly those with short antegrade bypass tract refractory periods (less than 250 ms) and short R-R intervals during pre-excited AF (180 plus or minus 29 ms).[5][6] In hemodynamically stable patients, intravenous procainamide may be administered to convert pre-exited AF to sinus rhythm. AV nodal blocking agents such as digoxin, diltiazem, or verapamil are contra-indicated as they increase AV-node refractoriness which could encourage preferential conduction over the accessory pathway. AF associated with a rapid tachycardia due to an accessory pathway may be treated with flecainide that has shown to slower the ventricular rate by prolonging the shortest pre-excited cycle length during AF and hence terminate AF.[7][8][9][10]
2011 ACCF/AHA/HRS Focused Updates Incorporated into the ACC/AHA/ESC 2006 Guidelines for the Management of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation (DO NOT EDIT)[11]
Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) Preexcitation Syndromes (DO NOT EDIT) [11]
| Class I |
| "1. Catheter ablation of the accessory pathway is recommended in symptomatic patients with AF who have WPW syndrome, particularly those with syncope due to rapid heart rate or those with a short bypass tract refractory period. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
| "2. Immediate direct-current cardioversion is recommended to prevent ventricular fibrillation in patients with a short anterograde bypass tract refractory period in whom AF occurs with a rapid ventricular response associated with hemodynamic instability. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
| "3. Intravenous procainamide or ibutilide is recommended to restore sinus rhythm in patients with WPW syndrome in whom AF occurs without hemodynamic instability in association with a wide QRS complex on the ECG (greater than or equal to 120-ms duration) or with a rapid pre-excited ventricular response. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
| Class III (Harm) |
| "1. Intravenous administration of digitalis glycosides or nondihydropyridine calcium channel antagonists is not recommended in patients with WPW syndrome who have preexcited ventricular activation during AF. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
| Class IIa |
| "1. Intravenous flecainide or direct-current cardioversion is reasonable when very rapid ventricular rates occur in patients with AF involving conduction over an accessory pathway. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
| Class IIb |
| "1. It may be reasonable to administer intravenous quinidine, procainamide, disopyramide, ibutilide, or amiodarone to hemodynamically stable patients with AF involving conduction over an accessory pathway. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
