Medications can be used to slow down the rate of SVT when it does occur, but medications do not eliminate the accessory pathways. If your symptoms are bothersome, then you may want to investigate a radiofrequency ablation procedure with a cardiologist. If you are able to tolerate the episodes of SVT and you don't want to undergo a procedure, then medications can be used. Overall, the WPW should not pose a serious risk to your health but it may help for you to see a cardiologist for another opinion. I hope you find this information useful.
