A Reversible Cardiomyopathy?

Some traditional cardiomyopathies are well known. For instance peripartum cardiomyopathy. Complete recovery occurs in 50% percentage. Similarly tachycardiomyopathy can be caused by a heavy burden of ventricular ectopics, or by an incessant supraventricular tachycardia, or by repeated episodes of ventricular tachycardia. Ensite or Cartographic mapping and ablation of the arrhythmia can abolish the arrhythmia and lead to dramatic improvement in left ventricular dysfunction. This is satisfying for the treating physician and gratifying for the patient. Hence a similar search for treatable and potentially reversible varieties of dilated cardiomyopathies is warranted in all cases of dilated cardiomyopathy.
