Wolff-parkinson-white syndrome (WPW)
A type of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) caused by extra electrical pathways that conduct electrical impulses faster than normal or conduct impulses in both directions. Named after Wolff, Parkinson & White. They were the first physicians to describe this SVT in 1930, but it was not officially a confirmed/documented disease until 1944.
