ROSA ALARCON, Laura de la; GUERRA LUJAN, Laura; SIMON JIMENEZ, Soledad  and  CAMPO GIMENEZ, María del. Cardiac pre-excitation without tachycardia in high-performance athletes. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2020, vol.13, n.3, pp.230-234.  Epub Nov 23, 2020. ISSN 2386-8201.

We present the case of an asymptomatic patient, a high-performance athlete, who, after an electrocardiogram, was diagnosed with cardiac pre-excitation syndrome without tachycardia. He underwent an ablation of the accessory pathway. Cardiac pre-excitation consists in one or several accessory pathways which bypass the atrioventricular node. It is important to carry out a cardiac study in all patients who practice intense sport activities.
