Abstract
Pheochromocytomas presents with variable clinical manifestations. Cardiomyopathy caused by a pheochromocytoma is well known. We report the case of a 62-year-old woman with recurrent left ventricular dysfunction, who was subsequently found to have a pheochromocytoma. The patient had two different patterns of cardiomyopathy. Patients with a cardiomyopathy, of non-specific origin, should have a pheochromocytoma ruled out.Entities:
