Article Synopsis
- Patients with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) undergoing catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) show better outcomes compared to those with structurally normal hearts (non-TIC), despite similar treatment strategies.
- In a study involving 45 TIC patients, left ventricular ejection function (LVEF) improved significantly post-treatment, leading to a higher rate of arrhythmia-free survival (69% vs 42%).
- Key factors influencing positive outcomes include the absence of heart failure with TIC, duration of AF, and specific ablation techniques used.
