Key result
Aggressive rate and rhythm control of pathological tachycardia can resolve symptoms and partially or completely recover left ventricular function in tachycardia-mediated cardiomyopathy.
Why the study?
Tachycardia is commonly encountered with recognized adverse consequences including its association with cardiomyopathy, necessitating an updated review of etiology, management, and prognosis.
This review provides an up-to-date overview of the etiology, management, and prognosis of tachycardia, particularly its association with cardiomyopathy.

Supports consideration in suspected cases; extends observational synthesis but leaves randomized confirmation open.
Tachycardia, conventionally, but arbitrarily, defined as an atrial and/or ventricular rate of >100 beats per minute, is encountered commonly and can be physiological or pathological in origin. Various adverse consequences from tachycardia have been recognized, and an important one is the association between persistent tachycardia and cardiomyopathy. In this article, we provide an up-to-date review on the etiology of tachycardia, management strategies, and the prognosis of patients presenting with tachycardia and cardiomyopathy.

Gopinathannair et al. (2015) conducted a review in Tachycardia and tachycardia-mediated cardiomyopathy. Rate and rhythm control strategies was evaluated. Aggressive rate and rhythm control of pathological tachycardia can resolve symptoms and partially or completely recover left ventricular function in tachycardia-mediated cardiomyopathy.
