Diagnosis and treatment tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy: case report
https://doi.org/10.35336/VA-2022-4-08
Abstract
The article highlights current issue of the etiology of cardiomyopathy resulting from persistent tachycardia. Clinical studies devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy and the criteria for its diagnosis are presented. The article presents a clinical case report of a 48-year-old patient who developed cardiomyopathy against the background of long-term persistent tachysystolic atrial fibrillation. After the restoration of the sinus rhythm against the background of optimal drug therapy, the clinical signs of cardiomyopathy regressed, the size of the heart chambers and the contractile function of the myocardium of the left ventricle of the heart returned to normal.
