Although ventricular pre-excitation via accessory pathways (APs) causes cardiac dysfunction in children and young adults with Wolff–Parkinson–White (WPW) syndrome, the underlying cardiac dysfunction mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to characterize cardiac dysfunction and clarify sensitive cardiac dysfunction indicators in WPW syndrome patients classified by the APs location with a layer-specific strain analysis. Twenty-four patients with WPW syndrome with a mean age of 14.1 years (6.9–21.6 years) (11 cases: type A with a left-sided AP [WA group], 13 cases: type B with a right-sided AP [WB group]), and 37 age-matched normal controls (N group) were examined. We measured the left ventricle (LV), base-, mid-, and apical-level of circumferential strain (CS), and longitudinal strain (LS) using a layer-specific strain with speckle tracking imaging. Dyssynchrony was also measured based on the timing of the radial strain at each segment. Peak endomyocardial base- and mid-level of CS was lower in both the WA and WB groups compared to the N group. Peak mid-myocardial and epimyocardial base-level of CS and peak mid-myocardial mid-level of CS were lower only in the WB group compared to the N group. Peak LS in all three layers was lower only in the WB group compared to the N group. There was a significant difference between the patient and normal groups for the dyssynchrony index only at the base-level, and there was no significant difference between the groups for LV ejection fraction (EF). Layer-specific strain decreased in more sites in the WB group despite the normal EF value. Layer-specific strains are sensitive indicators for the detection of the early stages of cardiac dysfunction.
