Everything about Tachycardia Induced Cardiomyopathy totally explained
Tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy, also known as
chronotropic cardiomyopathy and
tachycardiomyopathy, is a weakening of the
myocardium (the muscle of the
heart) that's due to prolonged periods of a
fast heart rate.
The rate and duration of the elevation in heart rate necessary to cause a
cardiomyopathy is unclear and is likely dependent on a number of unknown factors.
Treatment
The primary treatment for a tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy is correct the underlying tachycardia. Supportive agents such as
beta blockers and
ACE inhibitors /
angiotensin receptor blockers are of benefit to try to prevent remodeling of the
left ventricle.
If the tachycardia can be abolished, the heart muscle can recover after some time.
Not only is there a need to control the tachycardia that's responsible for causing tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy, but also treating underlying conditions that cause tachycardia. For instance, treatment of
hyperthyroidism can also lead to reversal of tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy.
