The present case describes a dilated cardiomyopathy associated with both antidromic and orthodromic atrio-ventricular reentrant tachycardias supported by multiple right accessory pathways. Both right accessory path-ways were successfully eliminated by catheter ablation and the patient progressively recovered during the follow up. The following etiologies might be involved: 1) primitive dilated cardiomyopathy (or post-inflammatory); 2) septal dyssinchrony due to ventricular pre-excitation; 3) tachycardiomyopathy.

Abstract

The present case describes a dilated cardiomyopathy associated with both antidromic and orthodromic atrio-ventricular reentrant tachycardias supported by multiple right accessory pathways. Both right accessory path-ways were successfully eliminated by catheter ablation and the patient progressively recovered during the follow up. The following etiologies might be involved: 1) primitive dilated cardiomyopathy (or post-inflammatory); 2) septal dyssinchrony due to ventricular pre-excitation; 3) tachycardiomyopathy.
