Over the last decades, the approach to the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, as well as its treatment, has substantially changed, leading to improvement in the prognosis and quality of life of these patients. From the first diagnostic electrophysiologic studies to the most recent evaluations, important data on pathophysiologic and clinical aspects have been gathered, and this learning journey is still not concluded. This body of knowledge is a fundamental part of any cardiologists' armamentarium despite the fact that this syndrome is rarely observed in adult patients.

Abstract
Over the last decades, the approach to the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, as well as its treatment, has substantially changed, leading to improvement in the prognosis and quality of life of these patients. From the first diagnostic electrophysiologic studies to the most recent evaluations, important data on pathophysiologic and clinical aspects have been gathered, and this learning journey is still not concluded. This body of knowledge is a fundamental part of any cardiologists' armamentarium despite the fact that this syndrome is rarely observed in adult patients.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
