Abstract:
The influence of anaesthetic drugs or techniques on the development of arrhythmias in patients with the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome still remains controversial. Most of the literature is based on single case reports from which no clear-cut attitude can be defined. In this retrospective study we tried to evaluate if a particular drug or technique could be recommended. We also discuss on the basis of electrophysiology of the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome situations in which the potential for arrhythmias is enhanced.
