Reversible cardiomyopathy associated with Addison's disease.
Myocardial involvement in Addison's disease has been described previously. A 36-year-old man presented with cardiomyopathy and was found to have Addison's disease. The patient's myocardial function improved after steroid therapy for Addison's disease. This is the only case report of reversible cardiomyopathy associated with Addison's disease in an adult patient.
