Abstract
Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy can be defined as a condition characterized by atrial or ventricular myocardial dysfunction resulting solely from increased atrial or ventricular rates. Implicit in this definition is the fact that there is no underlying structural heart disease. The most common presentation is a dilated cardiomyopathy with or without the causative tachycardia. Here I am presenting a case of tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy who presented with cardiac failue.
