By closely observing the shape of the delta wave on the ECG, the location of the accessory connection can often be estimated. Several algorhythms have been developed for this puprose.<cite>Milstein</cite> | By closely observing the shape of the delta wave on the ECG, the location of the accessory connection can often be estimated.
