Although TIC is more common in adults, it is rare in early infancy. Methods: Clinical testing was performed as part of medical evaluation and management. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was conducted for a patient with TIC. A literature review on TIC was also conducted. Results: The case involved a 5-month-old infant referred to the hospital due to symptoms of heart failure lasting at least two months. The infant\u2019s heart rate was 200 beats per minute, the left ventricular ejection fraction fell below 14%, and electrocardiograms showed atrial flutter, suggesting TIC. After cardioversion, there was no recurrence of atrial flutter, and cardiac function improved 98 days after tachycardia arrest. The NGS did not identify any pathogenic variants. The literature review identified eight early infantile cases of TIC. However, no previous reports described a case with such a prolonged duration of TIC as ours. Conclusions: This is the first report of a case of prolonged TIC in a child with the documented time to recover normal cardiac function. The improvement of cardiac function depends on the duration of TIC. Early recognition and intervention in TIC are essential to improve outcomes for infantile patients, as timely treatment offers the potential for recovery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13113313","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,4]],"date-time":"2024-06-04T07:39:49Z","timestamp":1717486789000},"page":"3313","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Tachycardia-Induced Cardiomyopathy in an Infant with Atrial Flutter and Prolonged Recovery of Cardiac Function"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Tomohide","family":"Sakai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toyama, Toyama 930-0194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kaori","family":"Tsuboi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toyama, Toyama 930-0194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shinya","family":"Takarada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toyama, Toyama 930-0194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mako","family":"Okabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toyama, Toyama 930-0194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hideyuki","family":"Nakaoka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toyama, Toyama 930-0194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keijiro","family":"Ibuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toyama, Toyama 930-0194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9394-9746","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sayaka W.","family":"Ozawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toyama, Toyama 930-0194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6441-3002","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yukiko","family":"Hata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Legal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toyama, Toyama 930-0194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7305-8137","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shojiro","family":"Ichimata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Legal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toyama, Toyama 930-0194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6921-1768","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Naoki","family":"Nishida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Legal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toyama, Toyama 930-0194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4224-9053","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Keiichi","family":"Hirono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toyama, Toyama 930-0194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1163","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hrthm.2014.04.023","article-title":"Predictors of myocardial recovery in pediatric tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy","volume":"11","author":"Moore","year":"2014","journal-title":"Heart Rhythm."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1791","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2009.02.014","article-title":"Tachycardia-mediated cardiomyopathy secondary to focal atrial tachycardia: Long-term outcome after catheter ablation","volume":"53","author":"Medi","year":"2009","journal-title":"J.
