In 1930, Wolff, Parkinson and White described the syndrome that bears their names. The mechanisms of supraventricular tachycardias were analyzed by brilliant electrocardiography interpretation by Pick and Langendorf. Wellens and Durrer using electrophysiologic studies analyzed the tachycardia mechanism invasively. In Germany the group by Seipel and Breithardt as well as Neuss and Schlepper studied the tachycardia mechanisms and response to antiarrhythmic drugs invasively by electrophysiological studies. Following the first successful interruption of an accessory pathway by Sealy in 1967, surgeons and electrophysiologists cooperated in Germany. Two centers, Hannover and Düsseldorf were established. Direct current (DC) ablation of accessory pathways was introduced by Morady and Scheinman. Because of side effects induced by barotrauma of DC, alternative strategies were studied. In 1987, radiofrequency ablation was introduced and thereafter established as curative therapy of accessory pathways in all locations.
