Reversibility of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy after radiofrequency ablation of incessant supraventricular tachycardia in infants

Br Heart J. 1995 Sep;74(3):332-3. doi: 10.1136/hrt.74.3.332.

Abstract

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.
