Quiz #35: EKG - Answer

Question: 8-year old boy was referred for chest pain. What is the diagnosis?

Answer: WPW syndrome
Short PR interval and Delta wave are noted. Delta wave is somewhat atypical in appearance - as though it is a wide QRS complex. Nevertheless, it is Delta wave.
If you are interested in locating the accessory pathway, you may refer to the answer to Quiz #5. I think, it is left-sided pathway.
