Which tests can they do after catheter ablations for wpw?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
EKG: An ekg should show if the ablation destroyed the accessory pathway successfully, especially if compared with the pre-ablation ekg. The pr interval will be longer and the delta wave will be gone.

ECG/Holter?Treadmill: Can or will? Depending upon your situation... Minimally an ekg. Possibly a 24 hour or longer monitoring of your heart rhythm and a treadmill to see if you do well under high adrenergic tone (exercise increases your adrenaline).
