This is a research study designed to better understand arrhythmia-induced cardiomyopathy (AiCM)—a condition where abnormal heart rhythms gradually weaken the heart muscle. Researchers are collecting information from patients' medical records, test results, and hospital visits to figure out how common this condition is, how to spot it earlier, and what treatments work best.
Doctors believe arrhythmia-induced cardiomyopathy is happening more often than people realize, but it's not well documented or understood. By studying this condition carefully, researchers hope to improve how quickly it's diagnosed and how well patients are treated.

If you join the prospective (ongoing) part of the study, researchers will review your medical records, test results, and heart imaging to carefully diagnose your condition. You may have routine follow-up visits as part of your normal cardiac care. The retrospective part involves researchers looking back at medical records from patients treated at the hospital between 2010 and 2021. No experimental medication or invasive procedures are involved—this is purely an observational study that tracks outcomes over time.
