Tachycardiomyopathy is well-recognized reversible form of myocardial dysfunction caused by chronic arrhythmias. Treatment of arrhythmia leads to recovery of myocardial function. Hence, it is of utmost importance to look for and identify arrhythmias in every patient presenting with myocardial dysfunction without any apparent etiology. We hereby present a case of persistent junctional reciprocating tachycardia with cardiomyopathy whose left ventricular function reverted to normal in three months following successful radiofrequency ablation of tachycardia.
