Abstract

Ventricular preexcitation is a depolarization of the ventricles that occurs before the conventional sequence, and the electrocardiogram is the specific test for diagnosis. A Kent bundle is the paradigm of ventricular preexcitation, and it is associated with short PR, wide QRS and delta wave. This finding is not always very evident, as it can have different degrees of pre-eccitazione; therefore great diagnostic care must be taken in this field. If not properly identified, the pattern of ventricular preexcitation may lead to an incorrect diagnosis. The methodology of precision electrocardiology is able to confront all these aspects.
