Abstract
We report a rare case of tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy resulting from nearly incessant dual antegrade response tachycardia. Criteria necessary for sustaining dual antegrade responses are discussed, including: (1) sufficient antegrade dissociation of the AV node; (2) absence of retrograde conduction over each AV nodal pathway following antegrade conduction over its counterpart; (3) difference between fast and slow pathway conduction times exceeding His-Purkinje refractoriness; and (4) critical timing of sinus impulses relative to preceding AV nodal conduction. Both the arrhythmia and cardiomyopathy were successfully treated by slow pathway ablation.
