372 Citations1968Frederick R. Cobb, Sarah D. Blumenschein +4 more
Surgical transection of the atrioventricular junction at that point abolished the electrocardiographic features of WPW and the recurrent tachycardia, and five months after surgery the signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure have subsided, and the patient has returned to work.
Circulation ResearchDistribution of Heart Potentials on the Thoracic Surface of Normal Human Subjects
340 Citations1963B Taccardi
The distribution of isopotential lines on the thoracic surface of 15 normal subjects aged 15 to 43 was determined at 10 to 20 instants of time during ventricular activation, and a tentative correlation between surface and intracardiac electrical events can be established.
CirculationEpicardial Excitation of the Ventricles in a Patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (Type B)
242 Citations1967D Durrer, J. P. Roos
Epicardial excitation was explored by means of an exploring electrode during operation on a patient with a large atrial septal defect of the secundum type, whose ECG indicated a Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome of type B.
American Heart JournalHistologic demonstration of accessory muscular connections between auricle and ventricle in a case of short P-R interval and prolonged QRS complex
237 Citations1943Francis C. Wood, Charles C. Wolferth +1 more
Serial histologic sections of a portion of the auriculoventricular groove showed three muscular connections at the right lateral border of the heart between the right auricle and right ventricle, which furnishes further support for the hypothesis of an accessory pathway of auricuentricular conduction as an explanation for this electrocardiographic anomaly.

Archives of Internal MedicineA CASE IN WHICH THE VAGUS INFLUENCED THE FORM OF THE VENTRICULAR COMPLEX OF THE ELECTROCARDIOGRAM
165 Citations1915Frank N. Wilson
The ventricular complexes seen in cases of bundle-branch block exhibit, in contrast to normal ventricular complex, the following characteristics: diphasic rather than polyphasic, and composed of a primary deflection or QRS group.
CirculationAtrioventricular and Ventriculoatrial Excitation in Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (Type B)
154 Citations1967Howard B. Burchell, Robert L. Frye +2 more
A patient with an atrial septal defect, paroxysmal tachycardia, and the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome had epicardial exploration to determine the nature of the excitation anomaly, and this sequence supported the concept of a circus movement.
CirculationAnatomic Findings in a Case of Ventricular Pre-Excitation (WPW) Terminating in Complete Atrioventricular Block
110 Citations1966Maurice Lev, WILLIAM B. LEFFLER +2 more
Electrocardiographic and detailed histological studies are presented of a case of ventricular pre-excitation with progressive A-V and intraventricular block terminating in complete A- V dissociation and it would appear that the two characteristic criteria, shortened P-R and the delta wave, may in some cases have a different anatomic background.
CirculationControl of Recurrent Tachycardia of Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome by Surgical Ligature of the A-V Bundle
100 Citations1968Leonard S. Dreifus, Henry T. Nichols +3 more
Complete elimination of the recurrent tachycardias after A-V ligation suggests that the normal A-v transmission system may be a crucial link in the circus pathway of WPW tachycardsia.
Quarterly journal of experimental physiologyOBSERVATIONS ON THE AURICULO‐VENTRICULAR JUNCTION OF THE MAMMALIAN HEART
87 Citations1913A. F. Stanley Kent
The muscular connection between auricle and ventricle in the heart of man is not single and confined to the A.V. bundle, but it is multiple and is proposed, for purposes of identification, to refer to the connection described as the “right lateral” connection.

79 Citations1921A. M. Wedd
Six cases 1 of paroxysmal tachycardia are reported which illustrate the moot points and the variety of clinical conditions in which the disorder occurs.
Annals of Internal MedicineTHE PROGNOSIS OF THE WOLFF-PARKINSON-WHITE SYNDROME
75 Citations1947J.LeRoy Kimball, Grant H. Burch
Excerpt Many authors, including Wolff, Parkinson and White,1consider the prognosis of the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (characterized by White et al. as a short P-R interval) as a matter of course.
CirculationA Histopathologic Study of the Atrioventricular Communications in Two Hearts with the Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome
64 Citations1961Maurice Lev, Rexford Kennamer +2 more
The atrioventricular communications and the AV node, bundle, and bundle branches of two cases with the WPW syndrome were studied histologically, and it is clear that an anatomic base has as yet not been established for this syndrome.

Although the paroxysmal tachycardia syndrome is not rare in the younger age group, the reported instances of this condition in infants and children to the age of 14 years are few.

53 Citations1959Gerold L. Schiebler, Paul Adams +1 more
A review of reported cases with the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and congenital heart disease appears to show that this syndrome may be associated with many congenital malformations of the heart, but particularly with dextrocardia and anomalies of the tricuspid valve (Ebstein's malformation and tric Suspid atresia).

42 Citations1948Harold Levine, Julius C. Burge
A proved case of myocardial infarction involving the interventricular septum showed complete heart block and intermittent anomalous atrioventricular excitation, but the RS-T and T-wave changes persisted.

In a 60-year-old male with WPW syndrome and recurrent PAT refractory to cardiac drugs, surgical creation of complete A-V block without cardiopulmonary bypass has prevented recurrence of the PAT.
American Heart JournalFurther observations on the mechanism of the production of a short P-R interval in association with prolongation of the QRS complex
33 Citations1941Charles C. Wolferth, Francis C. Wood
Contrary to the reports of Hunter, Papp, and Parkinson, the contour of the P wave is remarkably constant in these cases when the ventricular complexes change their shape, and certain facts are presented which lead to believe that the part of theventricular myocardium which is activated through the hypothetical accessory pathway may not be confined strictly to the right ventricle in all cases.
CirculationStudies on the Mechanism of Ventricular Activity
29 Citations1955Jean Louis Borduas, Louis Rakita +2 more
The results indicate that accelerated A-V nodal conduction is responsible for the short P-R interval and the form of the ventricular complex may be dependent upon synchronous or asynchronous activity of the A- V node.
