Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndromeis characterized by anaccessory conduction pathway, resulting inshort PR interval, narrow QRS complexes, and delta waves. Tachycardia in neonates with WPW is oftenparoxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT).
“WPW is a pre-excitation syndrome seen in neonates and children, diagnosed by ECG findings of delta waves, and is associated with recurrent tachyarrhythmias.”
