Hypocalcemia and Tachycardia Induced Cardiomyopathy
In managing these patients, electrolytes like calcium and magnesium are important part of work-up, apart from those described by the authors. Both hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia have been reported as causes of arrhythmias in children as well adults [2,3]. Since this child had two such episodes, he also needs to undergo electrophysiological study to look for any conduction pathway defect, which...
متن کاملTachycardia-induced Cardiomyopathy (Tachycardiomyopathy)
The term tachycardia-induced cardio-myopathy or tachycardiomyopathy refers to impairment in left ventricular function secondary to chronic tachycardia, which is partially or completely reversible once the tachyarrhythmia is controlled. Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy has been shown to occur both in experimental models and in patients with incessant tachyarrhythmia. Data from several studies ...
متن کاملTachycardia-Induced Cardiomyopathy
Background. Chronic supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) causes a dilated cardiomyopathy and myocyte injury. Termination of SVT improves left ventricular (LV) function but is associated with LV hypertrophy. Changes in myocardial blood flow (MBF) that may accompany the development of and recovery from SVT cardiomyopathy might have a significant effect on LV function and myocyte structure. The goal...
متن کاملTachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy
BACKGROUND Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) is a rare cause of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP). The diagnosis can be missed because tachycardia is a common symptom in DCMP. CASE REPORT We reviewed a case 5-year-old with palpitation and dyspnea with symptoms and signs of heart failure that diagnosed as DCMP initially. Then, in the evaluation for cause of tachycardia, atrial tachycardia w...
متن کاملA case of hypocalcemia-induced dilated cardiomyopathy.
Hypocalcemia is a rare cause of dilated cardiomyopathy. Hypocalcemia induced cardiomyopathy is usually reversible when calcium level returns to normal range. We experienced a case of 57-year-old woman who had suffered from hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy and its consequence of dilated cardiomyopathy. After supplementation of calcium and vitamin D, symptoms of heart failure and LV functio...
