Key result
In a woman with tachycardia-induced ventricular dysfunction, beta-adrenergic blockade markedly improved symptoms and hemodynamics.
Why the study?
Does beta-adrenergic blockade improve symptoms and hemodynamics in a patient with tachycardia-induced ventricular dysfunction?
Population

May support beta-blockade in tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy; single case report leaves open need for controlled trials.
Case Report (n=1)
Does beta-adrenergic blockade improve symptoms and hemodynamics in a patient with tachycardia-induced ventricular dysfunction?
Beta-blockade can markedly improve symptoms and hemodynamics in patients with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy.
Toby Engel (1974) conducted a case report in Chronic sinoatrial tachycardia and ventricular dysfunction (n=1). Beta-adrenergic blockade was evaluated on Symptoms and hemodynamics. In a woman with tachycardia-induced ventricular dysfunction, beta-adrenergic blockade markedly improved symptoms and hemodynamics.
