Predictors and prognostic significance of tachycardiomyopathy: insights from a cohort of 1269 patients undergoing atrial flutter ablation

Background Atrial flutter‐related tachycardiomyopathy (AFL‐TCM) is a rare and treatable cause of heart failure. Little is known about its epidemiology and long‐term prognosis. Our aims are to determine the prevalence, predictors and outcomes of AFL‐TCM. Methods and results A total of 1269 patients w...

Description
Summary:Background Atrial flutter‐related tachycardiomyopathy (AFL‐TCM) is a rare and treatable cause of heart failure. Little is known about its epidemiology and long‐term prognosis. Our aims are to determine the prevalence, predictors and outcomes of AFL‐TCM. Methods and results A total of 1269 patients were referred for radiofrequency ablation of AFL between January 1996 and September 2014; 184 had reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF
