Overview

Recovery after rhythm restoration suggests reversible tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy; extends case reports but leaves generalizability open.

Structured PICO

Population

1 66-year-old hypertensive woman presenting with a 15-day history of tachycardia, dyspnoea, and oedema, with atrial fibrillation (ventricular frequency 130 bpm) and dilated left ventricle with 0.39 ejection fraction.

Intervention

Rate control and heart failure medical therapy (amiodarone, digoxin, captopril, metoprolol, and furosemide).

Outcome

Reversal of left ventricular systolic dysfunction and conversion to sinus rhythm.surrogate

Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy is a potentially reversible cause of heart failure that should be considered in patients with systolic dysfunction and tachyarrhythmia.
