Impact of growth on electrophysiological properties of ventricular pre-excitation in paediatric athletes
This study highlights the importance of repeating electrophysiological study (transesophageal or intracardiac) in paediatric athletes with ventricular pre-excitation because significant and clinically relevant changes in the conduction and refractoriness of accessory pathway can occur. This could influence risk stratification for sports eligibility and the correct indication and timing for accessory pathway ablation.
