Abstract
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome involves abnormal electrical conduction in the heart through accessory pathways. Pre-excited atrial fibrillation arises from the non-decremental conduction of atrial fibrillation to the ventricles via these pathways, resulting in supraventricular tachycardias and, albeit rarely, sudden cardiac death due to ventricular fibrillation. Our case report aims to elucidate the specific characteristics of this condition and explore different methods of managing it.
