Good Medication: Beta blockers are a good way to keep your heart rate lower. Wpw tends to run the risk of svt or fast heart rates. When indicated, some cardiologists will ablate or remove the track that causes the WPW ultimately resolving the problem permanently.

Preexitation: Syndrome or wolf-parkinson-white. This is an aberrant accessory conduction pathway of the electric stimulation from the upper chambers (atria) to the lower chambers (ventricle) , a short cut and it fires up pulse goes up. I am a surgeon, thus i would suggest see a cardiologist as a definitive treatment in form of rf ablation does exist. Keep living as a normal person!
