    Author: Barrio JP, Cura G, Ramallo G, Diez M, Vigliano CA, Katus HA, Mereles D.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2011 May 12; 2011():. PubMed ID: 22696747.
    Abstract:
    Celiac disease is characterised by chronic immune-mediated malabsorption in genetically susceptible individuals induced by gluten proteins present in wheat, barley and rye. It occurs in adults and children at rates approaching 1% of the population. Cardiomyopathy associated with celiac disease is infrequent. The authors present here a first case of a severe progressive dilated cardiomyopathy that required heart transplantation in young woman with celiac disease.
