Does catheter-based ablation improve LV systolic function in a 14-year-old boy with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy?
Catheter ablation can completely reverse tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy in pediatric patients with fascicular ventricular tachycardia.
Rajesh Krishnachandra Shah (2018) conducted a case report in Tachycardia-induced Cardiomyopathy (n=1). Catheter-based ablation was evaluated on Recovery of LV systolic function. Catheter-based ablation resulted in complete recovery of left ventricular systolic function within 5-6 months in a 14-year-old boy with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy.
