Irreversible dilated cardiomyopathy due to thyrotoxicosis.
Irreversible dilated cardiomyopathy due to thyrotoxicosis is an unusual clinical entity. We report this case of a young female who presented with congestive cardiac failure and was diagnosed as dilated cardiomyopathy due to thyrotoxicosis. Restoration of euthyroid levels did not revert the cardiomyopathy.
