What drug is the drug of choice for Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome?

Dronedarone
Mexiletine
Procainamide
Sotalol

The correct answer is: Procainamide

Procainamide is the drug of choice for Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome because it targets and blocks fast-conducting accessory pathways in the heart which can cause the symptoms of this condition. Dronedarone, Mexiletine, and Sotalol may also be used to manage symptoms, but they have more potential side effects and are not as specifically effective for treating Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome as Procainamide is. Therefore, they are not the preferred drug for this condition.
