Specializes in Cardiology - Cardiac Electrophysiology

IST: Ist typically isn't associated with cardiomyopathy - however this is a remote possibility with some patients . With some patients, multiple agents are often needed. In refractory cases, ablation can be considered . Definitely follow closely with your cardiologist
