Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a conduction disturbance in which atrial impulses are transmitted to the ventricles by an accessory pathway instead of the normal atrioventricular conduction. The WPW syndrome may either simulate myocardial infarction or mask the electrocardiographic abnormalities of an acute MI. However, concealed WPW revealed after an acute coronary syndrome is rare with few cases reported in the literature. This article reports a case of coronary artery disease with ST-segment elevation in a 57-year-old man, previously asymptomatic, with an initial electrocardiogram showing no conduction abnormalities that subsequently presented with an ECG compatible with WPW.
