Long-Term Outcomes of Tachycardia-Induced Cardiomyopathy Compared with Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

data on the natural course and prognosis of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TICMP) and comparison with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathies (IDCM) are scarce.

Objective

To compare the clinical presentation, comorbidities, and long-term outcomes of TICMP patients with IDCM patients.

Methods

a retrospective cohort study of patients hospitalized with new-onset TICMP or IDCM. The primary endpoint was a composite of death, myocardial infarction, thromboembolic events, assist device, heart transplantation, and ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation (VT/VF). The secondary endpoint was recurrent hospitalization due to heart failure (HF) exacerbation.

Results

the cohort was comprised of 64 TICMP and 66 IDCM patients. The primary composite endpoint and all
