title: Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome: discharge planning.
abstract: Some patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome have potentially life-threatening arrhythmias. Symptomatic WPW is associated with tachycardias that are supraventricular in origin. Discharge teaching after surgical correction of WPW is critical to restoring the patient's previous life-style.
