Infobox disease ICD10 ICD10 I 42 9 i 30 Tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy , also known as chronotropic cardiomyopathy and tachycardiomyopathy , is a weakening of the myocardium the muscle of the heart that is due to prolonged periods of a tachycardia fast heart rate . The rate and duration of the elevation in heart rate necessary to cause a cardiomyopathy is unclear and is likely dependent on a number of unknown factors. Treatment The primary treatment for a tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy is correct the underlying tachycardia. Supportive agents such as beta blocker s and ACE inhibitor s Angiotensin II receptor antagonist angiotensin receptor blockers are of benefit to try to prevent remodeling of the left ventricle . If the tachycardia can be abolished, the heart muscle can recover after some time. ref cite journal author Calo L, Sciarra L, Scioli R, Lamberti F, Loricchio ML, Pandozi C, Santini M. title Recovery of cardiac function after ablation of atrial tachycardia arising from the tricuspid annulus. journal Ital Heart J. year 2005 volume 6 issue 8 pages 652 7 pmid 16161499 ref Not only is there a need to control the tachycardia that is responsible for causing tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy, but also treating underlying conditions that cause tachycardia. For instance, treatment of hyperthyroidism can also lead to reversal of tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy.
