We report a 68-year-old man who presented with heart failure and atrial fibrillation (AF) with rapid ventricular response and wide QRS complexes. Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) due to persistent AF developing on the basis of Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome was considered. Signs and symptoms of heart failure improved with restoration of sinus rhythm. This case suggested that persistent AF in a patient with WPW syndrome is one of the rare causes of TIC.
我们报告了一名68岁男性,他因心力衰竭、伴有快速心室反应和宽QRS波群的心房颤动(AF)前来就诊。考虑为基于预激综合征(WPW)发生的持续性AF所致的心动过速性心肌病(TIC)。随着窦性心律的恢复,心力衰竭的体征和症状有所改善。该病例提示,WPW综合征患者的持续性AF是TIC的罕见病因之一。
