Recurrent myocarditis as a clinical gateway to desmoplakin cardiomyopathy: a case report

Desmoplakin cardiomyopathy is a genetic disorder that can mimic recurrent myocarditis through inflammatory 'hot phases'. Recognition of this phenotype is essential in patients with recurrent myocarditis, especially when imaging findings show left-dominant fibrosis and arrhythmic features. Early diagnosis has important implications for treatment, prognosis, and prevention of sudden cardiac death.
