A member asked:

Does multiple svt episodes from my wpw syndrome lead to heart failure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dangerous: If you truly have WPW and you truly have SVT, you need to have an ablation performed. The combination of SVT and WPW can lead, in susceptible people, to sudden death. CHF is not the issue here.
