A Case Report of Severe Hypothyroidism-induced Cardiomyopathy and Anemia: The Concealed Cause

Background: Cardiomyopathies are a broad range of cardiac illnesses defined by mechanical and/or electrical dysfunction and abnormal ventricular hypertrophy or dilatation. Cardiomyopathies are classified into two categories: either primarily related to myocardial disease or secondary to other systemic or organ disorders, including the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormones have been linked to a wide range of significant effects on the cardiovascular system. Case Presentation: We experienced a case of a 37-year-old male who presented with symptoms of heart failure and was discovered to have dilated cardiomyopathy. The echocardiography study revealed significant left ventricular global hypokinesia and severely depressed left ventricular systolic function. The laboratory testing confirms the presence of severe normocytic, normochromic anemia with severe hypothyroidism Conclusion: The present case illustrates that hypothyroidism should be addressed systematically by healthcare providers when dilated cardiomyopathy is identified, and thyroid function testing should be regularly performed.
