Abstract
By echocardiography it is possible to localize both septal and left ventricular posterior wall motion during the cardiac cycle 1)–3). Timing of contraction of any part of the heart is effected by timing of excitation of that particular area. We studied the timing of contraction and the contraction pattern of both septal and posterior wall in patients with W.P.W. syndrome, to gain information about the timing of excitation.
