Prevalence and incidence of adverse events with catheter ablation for adults with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome: a systematic review protocol.

Objective: The objective of this review is to synthesize the best available evidence to determine the prevalence and incidence of adverse events in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome who have undergone catheter ablation.

Introduction: Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a rare congenital heart disease affecting the normal cardiac conduction system that predisposes an individual to tachyarrhythmias. Patients with Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome can experience a wide range of life-threatening symptoms and frequently undergo catheter ablation procedures to treat this disease.
