Echocardiographic Evaluation of LV Function in Patients with Tachyarrhythmia and Reduced Left Ventricular Function in Response to Rhythm Restoration

Echocardiographic Evaluation of LV Function in Patients with Tachyarrhythmia and Reduced Left Ventricular Function in Response to Rhythm Restoration

Aims: Tachyarrhythmia due to atrial fibrillation (AF) is often associated with reduced left ventricular (LV) function and has been proposed to cause arrhythmia-induced cardiomyopathy (AIC). However, the precise diagnostics of AIC and reversibility after rhythm restoration are poorly understood. Our...
