Cardiomyopathies are heterogeneous heart muscle disorders with a wide range of aetiologies and clinical manifestations. They are often defined by their causes (i.e. hypertension, prior myocardial infarction, valvular heart disease), although current major society definitions describe cardiomyopathy as the presence of abnormal myocardial structure and/or function in the absence of underlying…

Heart failure is one of the commonest reasons for hospital admission. Its etiology, which may not always be apparent on initial assessment, has important prognostic implications. Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) is rare in the adult population— only one case was encountered in two observational studies involving nearly 2,000 patients with unexplained dilated cardiomyopathy—but is…

Among the many contributions for Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review(AER) – Volume 2 Issue 2, Ethan R Ellis and Mark E Josephson discuss the proposed mechanisms of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, the causative tachyarrhythmias and their treatment, outcomes for patients diagnosed with TIC, and future directions for research and clinical care. Elsewhere, following the publication of the…

The ideal pacing site in the ventricle(s) of patients with atrioventricular (AV) block has been debated for years. Despite considerable technological advances, the optimal ventricular pacing site to mimic normal human ventricular physiology and attain the best haemodynamic response remains elusive.1
Prolonged ventricular dyssynchrony induced by long-term right ventricular (RV) apical pacing is…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) continues to be the most common arrhythmic disorder that is admitted to the hospital in the Medicare population. Over the next five years, the worldwide AF market potential will grow to in excess of 8.5 million people. This growth is predominantly fueled by the aging of the worldwide population and the fact that AF is an affliction of the aged with up to 6% of…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained, medically significant, and troublesome arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. AF has been associated with decreased quality of life (symptoms), serious morbidity (thromboemboli and tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy), and increased risk of mortality. Several articles have reviewed this arrthymia in depth including its presentations,…
