Turkish Society of Cardiology consensus paper on management of arrhythmia-induced cardiomyopathy

Özet

Heart failure (HF) is one of the major causes of mortality andmorbidity. The identifiation of causes of left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction is important in terms of initiating causal treatment and improving prognosis. Arrhythmia-induced cardiomyopathy (AIC) is a potentially reversible form of cardiomyopathy(CMP) in which LV dysfunction results from atrial or ventriculararrhythmias (1). It can be resolved by eliminating or effectivelytreating responsible arrhythmia
