A member asked:
After radiofrequency ablation, would traces of wpw still be visible on your ecg?

No: Usually the pr inteval returns to normal and the delta wave is no longer seen.

No: The delta wave characteristic of WPW occurs because of a direct accessory pathway connection between the atria and ventricle (short pr because of early ventricular activation). Disrupting this w ablation eliminates the delta wave.
