Abstract

A 67-year-old man was admitted to hospital for the treatment of exertional dyspnea. He suffered from congestive heart failure due to an old inferior myocardial infarction with type B Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Asynchronous wall motion caused by pre-excitation through a right-side bypass tract caused his cardiac function to deteriorate. Catheter ablation of the bypass tract increased the ejection fraction, and improved his symptoms, prior to surgical revascularization.
