Clinicopathological correlations were made on the hearts from 7 patients known to have exhibited ECG evidence of the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. In all 7 hearts, the entire atrioventricular junctions were serially sectioned. Accessory atrioventricular connections were prediced in all 7 cases following ECG investigation. Connections were identified histopathologically in 4 hearts in the predicted site. In another case 2 connections were identified, 1 being considered responsible for the pre-excitation. In the 6th case a right lateral connection was anticipated, but only accessory nodo-ventricular fibers were identified following histopathologic studies. In the final case, a posterior septal connection was predicted but the entire septum had fibrosed following previous operation. These findings are discussed in the light of the investigative techniques used, the theories of pre-excitation and the embryogenetic mechanisms producing accessory atrioventricular connections.
