Abstract
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is important for the anesthesiologist because the sudden development of tachyarrhythmias may result in deleterious hemodynamic changes. We describe an episode of reciprocating tachycardia triggered by the insertion of the guide wire during central venous cannulation in a patient with this syndrome.
