Thank you gloaming for the feedback. WPW is supposed to have a high success rate from ablation - higher than "ordinary" afib. i'm not sure if that's because the extra electrical pathways are more clearly identified in WPW, or what. I certainly hope it works for him.
sorry to hear you are preparing for 2nd ablation. good luck with that.

As an aside, my understanding is that WPW tends to have a strong inherited component. The mother of my friend I posted about above also had WPW.
The two way path in the AV node is what gives WPW the ability to drive the heart rate really high.

Is there any specific test for WPW other than looking at EKG when patient is in afib/arrhythmia/tachy? The last time i went to ER with afib, I asked the doctor if it could be WPW because my brother had it, and he said no, I don't have that. I think my brother's diagnosis of WPW has been done entirely from EKGs in ER.
