Arrhythmic cardiomyopathy (ACM) results from chronic tachycardia, causing heart muscle changes. Restoring normal heart rhythm is key to treatment and recovery.

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Electrophysiology
Pathology

Context:

Arrhythmic cardiomyopathy (ACM) encompasses myocardial alterations due to chronic tachycardia.
It can affect atria and/or ventricles, irrespective of arrhythmia type.
Differentiating ACM from other cardiomyopathies is crucial due to potential hemodynamic compromise.

Purpose:

To define arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) and its relationship with chronic tachycardia.
To outline the diagnostic considerations and physiopathological mechanisms of ACM.
To discuss treatment strategies for ACM, focusing on rhythm control.

Summary:

ACM involves hemodynamic, electrophysiological, metabolic, and histological changes, often progressive with heart rate.
Abnormal cellular calcium concentrations are a key mechanism.

Regression begins after rhythm control but may take months.

Impact:

Effective treatment involves restoring sinus rhythm or controlling ventricular rate.
Radiofrequency ablation is preferred for localized arrhythmogenic substrates.
Pharmacological and interventional strategies manage chronic atrial fibrillation when sinus rhythm is unattainable.
