May guide age-specific counseling on LV recovery after ablation; leaves open whether timing optimizes outcomes in older children.
Does radiofrequency ablation improve left ventricular function in infants and children with incessant tachycardia?
Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy is reversible following radiofrequency ablation in infants and children, with younger patients experiencing a faster recovery of left ventricular function.
Giovanni et al. (1998) studied this question.
