Summary

 We report a case of left atrial tachycardia(AT) resulting in tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy(TIC). The tachycardia was successfully terminated by radiofrequency catheter ablation(RFCA) resulting in improvement of the patient's LV systolic dysfunction. The case was that of a 31-year-old male, with clinical signs of near-syncope and palpitations during exercise. Holter-ECG revealed incessant type of AT with a heart rate of 100~200bpm, and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) measured during sinus rhythm in echocardiography and left ventricular angiography(LVG) being 38%. There were no abnormal findings in coronary angiography. Electrophysiological study(EPS) revealed that the AT was due to a non-reentrant mechanism. Endocardial mapping during clinical tachycardia demonstrated the earliest atrial excitation was at the postero-lateral site of the mitral annulus, which the application of RFCA successfully terminated. We also performed ventricular programmed stimulations in this study and ventricular fibrillation(Vf) was reproducibly induced. Three months after the RFCA, LVEF in LVG improved to 58%, but the same ventricular programmed stimulation protocol did not induce Vf. The improvement of LVEF after the cure of AT confirmed diagnosis of TIC as the cause of the patient's reversible LV systolic dysfunction. It is unclear why Vf inducibility changed, but it may relate to the ventricular remodeling process induced by TIC.
