An electrophysiologic study was performed in 28 patients with WPW syndrome, 23 with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) and 25 with other arrhythmias (control), all of whom had no history of PAF. The following atrial excitability parameters were assessed: effective refractory period (ERP), spontaneous or paced (A1) and extrastimulated (A2) atrial electrogram widths, percent maximum atrial fragmentation (%MAF; A2\/A1 \u00d7 100), wavelength index (WLI; ERP\/A2), and inducibility of AF.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Results:<\/jats:italic> The ERP tended to be shorter in patients with WPW syndrome and in those with AVNRT than in the control group. The %MAF increased (154 \u00b1 33 vs. 137 \u00b1 23%, p &lt; 0.05) and WLI decreased (2.7 \u00b10.8 vs. 3.4 \u00b1 1.0, p&lt;0.05) significantly in patients with WPW syndrome compared with the control group; however, these parameters in patients with AVNRT showed intermediate values. Atrial fibrillation was more inducible in patients with WPW syndrome (4\/28 [14.3%]) than in those with AVNRT (4.3% [1\/23]) and the control group (0\/25 [0%]). With respect to patients with WPW syndrome and with and without inducible AF, the %MAF increased (195 \u00b1 23 vs. 148 \u00b1 30%, p&lt;0.01) and the WLI decreased (2.2 \u00b1 0.3 vs. 2.9 \u00b1 0.9, p&lt;0.05) in subjects with inducible AF.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Conclusions:<\/jats:italic> Atrial electrophysiologic abnormalities, especially atrial conduction delays, are more prominent in patients with WPW syndrome, even if they had no previous history of PAF.
