So how is WPW diagnosed, especially if the person has no symptoms?

When I was diagnosed with WPW, my doctor noticed an unusual heart rythm at one of my regualr yearly checkups, I was about ten years old.

More commonly, an ECG( electrocardiogram) is taken. An excersice test can be a good determining test. When I did the exercise test I ran on a treadmill while the doctors measured my hear rate.
