Is this correct? "wolff parkinson white synd. is an electrical abnormality in the heart where an accessory pathway exists leading to rapid heart rate"
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: That is correct! It causes a re-entrant tachycardia, and can be controlled with medications, or cured with an ablation.
