Once the condition has been identified and treated appropriately, people with WPW syndrome have an excellent prognosis. [irishheart.ie]

Treatment and prognosis The mainstay of treatment is medical. In patients with refractory symptoms, deep brain stimulation may be useful. [radiopaedia.org]

Although the exact etiology is unknown, it is believed that the CNS damage increases the excitability of the stretch reflex receptors in the muscles, causing the muscles to contract in response. [news-medical.net]

Epidemiology WPW syndrome is relatively common and found in 2 to 4 people per 1,000 population. In adults, it is more common in males.[2] WPW syndrome is found in all ages, although it is most common in young, previously healthy people. [patient.info]

Epidemiology The prevalence of HSP varies in different studies. Such variation is probably due to a combination of differing diagnostic criteria, variable epidemiological methodology, and geographical factors. [jnnp.bmj.com]
