I have wolf-parkinson-white syndrome with an svt. would this cause chest pain? if so would the pain be caused by an "episode"?

WPW: Wpw is associated with svt and svt can certainly be symptomatic with chest pain. The pain would be related to the "episode". When folks have this we often have an electrophysiologist ablate the bypass tract to attempt to substantially cure the problem.

SVT, WPW, Afib: Svt or supraventricular tachycardia is a condition in which the upper chamber of the heart causes the heart to beat very fast. Wpw or wolf parkinson white syndrome is a condition where te heart has a propensity to abnormal electrical conduction that may predispose people to have svt, atrial fibrillation (where the upper chamber of the heart beats chaotically), or other heart rhythm issues.
