    Abstract:
    Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome produces several electrocardiographic features, including mimicking the changes of myocardial infarction. A case is described of an astonishingly well-informed heroin addict, who himself had WPW syndrome and who exploited his condition attempting to obtain opiates from hospital.
