This is an additional electrical connection between the atria (upper chambers of the heart) and the ventricles (lower chambers of the heart). It is a very rare cause of sudden death and in the majority it is completely silent and only detected on a routine

heart rate is usually in excess of 150 beats per minute), which in many instances remain until they are terminated by medical therapy. On the other hand, some patients learn to control them by holding breath for prolonged period
