Key result
Slow-pathway ablation successfully eliminated the tachycardia caused by double firing of dual-AV nodal pathways, resolving congestive heart failure symptoms and improving left ventricular ejection fraction.

Supports ablation as potential option for this rare tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Case Report (n=1)
Slow-pathway ablation can successfully treat tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy caused by double firing of dual-AV nodal pathways presenting as wide complex tachycardia.
LI et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Wide complex tachycardia and congestive heart failure (n=1). Slow-pathway ablation was evaluated. Slow-pathway ablation successfully eliminated the tachycardia caused by double firing of dual-AV nodal pathways, resolving congestive heart failure symptoms and improving left ventricular ejection fraction.
