BACKGROUND: The incidence and prevalence of arrhythmia-induced cardiomyopathy (AIC) are unclear but likely underrecognized. LV dysfunction is common among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), atrial flutter (AFL), and frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVC). The hallmark of AIC is the improvement of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) following arrhythmia treatment. Changes in echocardiographic parameters and their effect on outcomes after rhythm control for AIC are not well understood. We aimed to study echocardiographic parameters and outcomes following rhythm control for AIC.
METHODS: A multicenter, retrospective study was conducted at 4 different medical centers involving patients with AIC. Clinical, echocardiographic, and outcome (mortality and heart failure hospitalizations [HFH]) parameters were extracted from the medical record.
RESULTS: Two hundred fifty-five patients (age 66 ± 11 years, 73% male) with AIC caused by AF (51%), atrial tachycardia/AFL (20%), and PVCs (29%) were included and followed for a median period of 6 months after successful rhythm control. Significant improvements in left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (P < 0.0001), LV end-systolic volume (ml) (90 ± 48 to 58 ± 30; P < 0.0001), LV internal diameter end diastole (cm) (5.5 ± 0.78 to 5.3 ± 0.64; P = 0.0001) and end systole (4.7 ± 0.95 to 4.3 ± 1.02; P < 0.0001), right atrial pressure (mmHg) (11.3 ± 5.0 to 7.4 ± 3.2; P = 0.0001), and right ventricular function (n (%)) (42 (44) to 9 (11); P < 0.0001) were noted following arrhythmia treatment. No deaths occurred during follow-up. HFH occurred in 7 patients. Arrhythmia recurrence rate was 50.5%. Neither echocardiographic parameters nor recurrence of arrhythmia correlated with HFH.
CONCLUSION: Arrhythmia treatment significantly improved echocardiographic LV dimensions, LVEF, and RAP in this multicenter AIC cohort, underscoring the need for early recognition and aggressive rhythm control in suspected AIC patients. The event rate was too low to assess for outcome predictors.
