Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Patients with Suspected Tachycardia-Induced Cardiomyopathy: The Impact of Late Gadolinium Enhancement and Epicardial Fat Tissue.

ABSTRACT: Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) is a reversible subtype of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) resulting from sustained supraventricular or ventricular tachycardia and diagnosed by the normalization of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) after stable sinus rhythm restoration. The aim of this study was to determine the contribution of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to the differential diagnosis of TIC and DCM with persistent atrial arrythmias in patients hospitalized for the first time with heart failure (HF) with reduced LVEF of nonischemic origin. A total of 29 patients (age: 58.2 ± 16.9 years; males: 65.5%; average EF: 37.0 ± 9.5%) with persistent atrial tachyarrhythmia and first decompensation of HF without known coronary artery diseases were included in this study.
