Ivabradine maintains sinus rhythm and reverses atrial tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy

Atrial tachycardia resistant to conventional management may respond to ivabradine. Two cases of resistant tachycardia are presented that responded to ivabradine. Both cases were later successfully ablated and both maintained sinus rhythm and are symptom free 2 years post procedure. The physiological mechanism for this is also briefly discussed.
