چکیده
A teenager with left ventricular dysfunction complicating chronic incessant supraventricular tachycardia is described. He was unusual in his delayed presentation to hospital, despite having come to medical attention several years previously, and he showed an excellent response to flecainide.

Reversibility of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy after radiofrequency ablation of incessant supraventricular tachycardia in infants.
Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy developed in a 3 month old infant with permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia, which was incessant despite medical treatment. The patient underwent transcatheter radiofrequency ablation. There were no complications and 8 months after the procedure the patient was symptom free without medication.
متن کاملA 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 t...

OBJECTIVE To assess recovery pattern of left ventricular function secondary to incessant tachycardia after radiofrequency ablation in a group of infants and children. DESIGN AND SETTING A combined prospective and retrospective echocardiographic study carried out in a tertiary paediatric cardiac centre. PATIENTS Echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricular size and function in nine child...
متن کاملSuccessful radiofrequency catheter ablation therapy of an adolescent with atrial ectopic tachycardia.
Atrial ectopic tachycardia is an incessant supraventricular tachycardia and is frequently refractory to medical treatment. Because it can cause tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, early diagnosis and treatment is important. We present a 16-year-old boy who was diagnosed as atrial ectopic tachycardia. The tachycardia, originating from the lower region of the right atrium along the crista termina...
متن کاملSuccessful cryoablation of an incessant atrial tachycardia arising from the right atrial appendage.
The right atrial appendage can be the origin of focal atrial tachycardias. Their ablation can be challenging owing to the complexity of the appendage anatomy. To our knowledge, we describe the first successful solid tip cryoablation of a focal tachycardia within the right atrial appendage in a patient presenting with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy.
