WPW is short for Wolff–Parkinson–White, a condition involving an extra electrical connection in the heart. It can be seen on an electrocardiogram (ECG) as a “pre-excitation” pattern and can be associated with episodes of rapid heart rhythm. WPW is commonly discussed in cardiology, emergency care, and electrophysiology (heart rhythm medicine). Some people have ECG findings of WPW without symptoms, while others have palpitations or fast heartbeats.
