A: WPW is also known as ventriculary preexcitation syndrome. Accessory conduction pathway from atria to ventricle (bundle of kent), bypassing AV node. As a result, ventricles begin to partially depolarize earlier, giving rise to characteristic delta wave on ECG. This may result in reentry current leading to supraventricular tachycardia.
