IN WPW an accessory pathway that only conducts retrogradely (i.e. no resting ECG delta wave) is called a CONCEALED pathway and those with antegrade conduction where the delta wave is obvious is called a MANIFEST pathway.
If suspect AF and Aberrant conduction down the accessory pathways then you must avoid Adenosine, Digoxin, Beta Blockers or Calcium Channel blockersAbout
