May support ablation for tachycardiomyopathy with multiple arrhythmias; leaves open need for prospective validation before practice change.
Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy is defined as systolic and/or diastolic ventricular dysfunction resulting from a prolonged elevated heart rate which is reversible upon control of the arrhythmia or the heart rate. We describe a patient who had recurrent palpitations and breathlessness and had cardiomyopathy due to multiple arrhythmias. A systematic and meticulous electrophysiologic study could elucidate the mechanism of all the arrhythmias and successful ablation was done. Postsuccessful radiofrequency ablation, there was a resolution of ventricular dysfunction.

Suresh Allamsetty (2024) conducted a case report in Tachycardiomyopathy due to multiple arrhythmias (n=1). Electrophysiologic study and radiofrequency ablation was evaluated on Resolution of ventricular dysfunction. Radiofrequency ablation of multiple arrhythmias in a single patient with tachycardiomyopathy resulted in the successful resolution of ventricular dysfunction.
