What is Influence of Age on the Potential Risk of Sudden Death in Asymptomatic Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome about?
**BREMBILLA‐PERROT, B., et al.: Influence of Age on the Potential Risk of Sudden Death in Asymptomatic Wolff‐Parkinson‐White Syndrome.** Sudden death might be the first event in patients with asymptomatic WPW. The purpose of the study was to know if the age of the patient modifies the electrophysiological characteristics of asymptomatic WPW. Transesophageal stimulation was performed on 92 asymptomatic WPW patients from the following age groups: 10–69 years (n =14), 20–29 years (n = 33), 30–39 years (n = 15), 40–49 years (n = 17), and 50–69 years (n = 13). The procedure consisted of atrial pacing up to the second AV block, programmed atrial stimulation using one and two extrastimuli delivered on two driven rhythms in the control state, and after infusion of isoproterenol. In the five age groups, paroxysmal junctional tachycardia occurred, respectively, in 1 (7%), 1 (3%), 2 (13%), 2 (12%) patients, and not at all in the oldest group. AF > 1 minute occurred, respectively, in 3 (21%), 9 (27%), 5 (33%), 3 (18%), and 4 (31%) patients. The dangerous form of WPW (rapid conduction in the Kent bundle > 240/min in the control state or > 300/min after isoproterenol + AF induction) occurred, re
