Abstract:
In latent Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, ventricular pre-excitation is inapparent during sinus rhythm but carries the same possibility of sudden cardiac death and palpitations as overt Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. It is difficult to diagnose latent Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome when a patient does not have syncope or palpitations. We report the case of an asymptomatic patient with latent Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome detected on school heart screening using subtle electrocardiography findings.

Assessment of apical radial pulse
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
