In 1930, Wolff, Parkinson and White described a series of young patients who had a bundle branch block pattern on electrocardiography (ECG), a short PR [preexcitation] interval, and paroxysms of tachycardia. ... the term Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome was coined in 1940. In 1943, the existence of an accessory connection between atria and ventricles was confirmed, which is about 50 years after Kent's description of myocardial fibers that were believed to conduct from atria to ventricle. The term preexcitation ... indicates an additional excitatory spread in the ventricles of the heart, coupled to auricular excitation. WPW syndrome is not the only form of preexcitation, but it is the most common. 2, record 1, English, - Wolff%2DParkinson%2DWhite%20syndrome
