Abstract
Objective: The authors performed a bibliographic review in order to know the latest genetic, clinical, diagnostic and treatment aspects of patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Bibliography review: Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a cardiac pathology in which the patient has an accessory conduction pathway and is diagnosed solely by electrocardiogram. Although some patients may develop symptoms, most of them are asymptomatic and may have sudden death as the first manifestation of the disease. The treatment of asymptomatic patients is still a hotly debated issue in the scientific world because the guidelines are not clear about these, associated with the presentation of studies with contradictory results. Final Considerations: A better understanding of the clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatments available to patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome allows the improvement of patients' morbidity and mortality, as well as making them active in the therapeutic decision.
