We describe a case of dilated cardiomyopathy in a young patient in which all other causes were excluded. The patient was found to have previously undiagnosed coeliac disease and had a good improvement in symptoms as well as left ventricular function and dimensions as a result of a gluten free diet. It may be worthwhile considering checking a coeliac serology in patients who present with a dilated cardiomyopathy as it is a simple investigation and has considerable implications on overall management and perhaps prognosis. %A Glover, Benedict M. %A Treanor, Nuala J. %A McEneaney, David J. %P 272-273 %9 journal article %U https://www.termedia.pl/Case-report-A-case-of-dilated-cardiomyopathy-associated-with-coeliac-disease,19,9013,1,1.html
