Abstract
Percutenous catheter ablation of the accessory pathway in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a highly successful mode of therapy. Sudden cardiac arrest survivors associated with WPW syndrome should undergo radiofrequency catheter ablation. WPW syndrome associated with familial atrial fibrillation is a very rare condition. Herein, we describe a case who presented with sudden cardiac arrest secondary to WPW syndrome and familial atrial fibrillation and treated via radiofrequency catheter ablation. Key Words: Ablation; cardiac arrest; familial atrial fibrillation; WPW syndrome Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) is an abnormality of the conduction tissue in which an accessory pathway conducts atrial depolarizations together with normal conduction pathway at the same time. Therefore, a short PR interval, a delta wave, and a widened QRS complex are seen on the surface electrocardiography. If a documented tachycardia is present, the pathology is called as WPW syndrome. Percutaneous catheter ablation of the accessory pathway has been used to treat this type of tachycardias with high success rates 1. Herein, we describe a case with WPW syndrome who presented with ventricular fibrillation secondary to familial atrial
