Rapid recovery of cardiac function after catheter ablation of persistent junctional reciprocating tachycardia in children

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology : PACE

Abstract

Four children (age range 3 weeks to 15 years) with tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy due to permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia (PJRT) underwent successful catheter ablation of the tachyarrhythmia circuit without any complications during or after the procedure. In all four patients, the left ventricular fractional shortening improved to normal within 2 weeks of the procedure. These results argue for a more aggressive approach to the therapy of PJRT when associated with tachycardiomyopathy at a young age.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
