Case report identifies dilated cardiomyopathy due to takayasu's arteritis, suggesting systemic vasculitis screening for timely treatment.

Dilated cardiomyopathy was identified in a patient with takayasu's arteritis, showing rare overlap between the conditions.
Magnetic resonance angiography confirmed the diagnosis of takayasu's arteritis, which affects large arteries and can cause heart complications.
Immunosuppressant therapy, including prednisolone and methotrexate, improved ventricular systolic dysfunction in the patient.
Only 5-6% of takayasu's arteritis cases present with dilated cardiomyopathy, highlighting the need for systemic vasculitis screening.

Begum et al. (2025) studied this question.
