ABSTRACT
Recent studies on radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) in atrial fibrillation show its effectiveness in heart failure (HF) patients; hence, tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (T-CMP) is gaining attention. Tachycardia-mediated cardiomyopathy is a reversible left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, which can be induced by any tachyarrhythmia. Early recognition of T-CMP with appropriate treatment of the arrhythmia culprit will lead to the recovery of LV function. Patients with tachycardia and LV dysfunction should be suspected of having T-CMP, with or without established etiology of HF, because T-CMP may present by itself or contribute as a co-existent component. Therapeutic options include rate control, anti-arrhythmic drugs, or catheter ablation. Unlike in animal models, clinical data on human T-CMP is limited. Hence, future research should be more focused on tachyarrhythmia-induced cardiomyopathy as its burden is increasing.
