Abstract

Key Clinical Message: We describe the case that persistent atrial fibrillation refractory to rhythm control by pharmacotherapy and electrical cardioversions caused tachycardia‐induced cardiomyopathy with low ejection fraction and hemodynamic instability. Mechanical hemodynamic support using an intra‐aortic balloon pump is one of the choices of hemodynamic support during catheter ablation by pulmonary vein isolation.
