Is WPW hereditary or not? ?!

Yes, WPW is most definitely hereditary!.

If you personally have ever had any abnormal heart rhythms (palpitations, fast heart rate), fainting, or dizziness I would contact a physician and get yourself examined!. In fact, call 911 (in the USA) or call an ambulance if you faint or have a fast heart rate as it can potentially be fatal!. WPW isn't always symptomatic and you may never know that you have it, but it doesn't hurt to play it safe!. I'd also suggest talking to other members of your family to see if they have ever had any symptoms!. Best of wishes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
