'Hot phase' non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy with atypical onset and recurrence: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy (NDLVC) is a newly categorized cardiomyopathy phenotype includingseveral aetiologies with a linking characteristic represented by the normal left ventricular volume. Inflammatory heart disease (InHD) is a heterogeneous process with variegate clinical manifestations, sometimes in overlap with NDLVC. A 26-year-old woman was admitted forcomplete heart block (CHB) and persistently raised troponin. Echocardiography and coronary angiography were normal.
