Permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia: a rare, but not to be missed, cause of cardiogenic shock in adults

Stéphane Boulé et al. Eur Heart J Acute Cardiovasc Care. 2020 Sep.

Abstract

We report the case of a 64-year-old woman who was admitted for cardiogenic shock caused by a permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia. If this incessant and drug-refractory form of tachycardia is a well-known cause of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathies in infants, its occurrence during adulthood is extremely rare. Catheter ablation is the recommended treatment of this condition.

Keywords: Cardiogenic shock; catheter ablation; heart failure; permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia; tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy.
