Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bundle of Kent connects the two anatomical structures of heart, the atria and the ventricle. Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome develops because of the formation of extra electrical circuits within the heart. The condition leads to rapid heart rate and abnormal electrocardiogram. Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome is a syndrome, and by definition, an identifiable external cause is not known. It is caused by an accessory pathway in the cardiac conduction system that causes arrhythmias in some individuals. The condition is congenital and there are no risk factors.
