Epidemiology and Demographics
- Estimated prevalence of WPW syndrome is 1 - 3 per 1000 people in the entire world.[1]
- Prevalence increases in first degree relatives in which it can get as high as 5-6 per 1000 people.[1]
- The incidence of tachyarrythmias is not well established in patients who present WPW pattern. It has been reported that the incidence of tachyarritmias is approximatley 1% per year in patients with WPW pattern.[2]
- The incidence of sudden cardiac death in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern is not high. A metaanalysis involving twenty studies estimated that the sudden cardiac death in patients with asymptomatic preexcitations was around 1.3 per 1000 patient-years.[3] Neveertheleess, it has been estimated to be 4.5 per 1000 patients-years in one recent series.[1]
- Incidence of WPW is higher in men than in women in a ratio of approximately 2:1. Also, atrial fibrillation and ventricular fibrillation are more common in men than in women with WPW.[4]
- Incidence of Orthodromic AVRT is more common in women than in men.[5]
