What is the the difference between wolf parkinson's white syndrome and atrial fibrillation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
WPW: Wpw is a syndrome with bypass tracts that make rapid heart action possible. Atrial fibrillation is a rapid disordered heart rhythm that is fairly common. When associated with WPW it can be fatal because of too fast conduction of impulses. They are different conditions but when they happen together tragedy can result.
