May support ablation in refractory, long-duration tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation before practice change.
Does radiofrequency ablation improve left ventricular function and symptoms in a patient with severe tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy due to 30-year persistent atrial tachycardia?

Suzuki et al. (2013) studied this question.
