A member asked:

After undergoing radiofrequency ablation, would? wpw still be visible on your ecg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

WPW: After ablation in most cases your ekg should be normal. Ther are few cases when there is still evidence of abnormal conduction on the ekg, but those are rare.

Dr Rao and another doctor agreed
