Risk Factors
High risk criteria for sudden cardiac death in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome during electrophysiology study include:
- Presence of multiple accessory pathway
- R-R interval <250 milliseconds in antegrade conduction of accessory pathway during inducing atrial fibrillation
- Sustained atrial fibrillation induced by AV re-entry tachycardia
- Policemen
- Athletes
- Firemen
- Pilots
- Steelworkers
Risk factors for the development of atrial fibrillation in WPW syndrome include[1]:
- Male gender
- Age (peak ages for the development of atrial fibrillation include 30 years and 50 years)
- Past history of syncope
