Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW)syndrome involves anaccessory conduction pathwaycausingreentrant tachycardias.Catheter ablationis thedefinitive treatment, especially in symptomatic children.Digoxin is contraindicatedin WPW as it may enhance conduction through the accessory pathway.
“Catheter ablation is the treatment of choice for recurrent or refractory supraventricular tachycardia in WPW. Digoxin should be avoided in pre-excitation syndromes.”
