Accessory pathways (AP) are abnormal electrical connections between 2 parts of the heart, usually isolated one from the other. Atrioventricular AP may be responsible for atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT), which accounts for about 30% of supraventricular tachycardias, being especially common in the pediatric population.1,2 When an AP is visible on a resting electrocardiogram (ECG) (ie, overt or manifest AP), it results in the so-called pre-excitation, which leads to Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome when associated to tachyarrhythmias.
