Successful radiofrequency ablation of multiple accessory pathways in a patient with tachycardiomyopathy

Abstract

Tachycardiomyopathy secondary tachycardia is a subgroup of cardiomyopathy. Multiple accessory pathways in tachycardia arrhythmias are very rare and usually additional pathology is associated with it. In our case, 58 years old female patient who does not have any additional dısease, have shown multiple accessory pathways and multiple accessory pathway successfully ablated. As a result, patient\'s tachycardiomyopathy were healed.

Taşikardiyomiyopatili bir hastada çoklu aksesuar yolların başarılı radyofrekans ablasyonu

Abstract

Taşikardiyomiyopati, taşikardik aritmilerin neden olduğu bir kardiyomiyopati grubudur. Taşikardik aritmiler içerisinde ise multiple aksesuar yollar çok nadirdir ve genelde ek bir patoloji ile birlikte görülür. Bizler vakamızda ek bir hastalığı olmayan 58 yaşında bayan hastada çoklu aksesuar yolların olduğunu ve buna bağlı gelişen taşikardiyomiyopatinin başarılı radyofrekans ablasyonu ile düzeldiğini gösterdik.
