How To Treat Tachycardia-induced Cardiomyopathy?
Hi, I am 20 years old. Six months ago I was diagnosed with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy and atrial flutter. Otherwise I am a very healthy individual. I received ablation treatment in August and have been taking carvedilol and lisinopril and recently stopped pradaxa. Recent tests (EKG and ultrasound) showed normal rhythm and ejection fraction. I feel great (play competitive sports, run). I am currently in college and I wonder about moderate use of marijuana. Is it dangerous in causing my condition to return, or does the ablation greatly lower the chances of return? Thanks.
