Electrophysiologic Studies in WPW

The purpose of these studies is to:

• determine the location and number of accessory pathways.
• determine the mechanism and pathway of the tachycardia.
• to establish the diagnosis in those patients c a questionable resting EKG.
• to evaluate the efficacy of drugs.
• to select patients for surgery and to evaluate them postoperatively.
