Why the study?
Although various cardiac manifestations of COVID-19 have been reported, cases of dilated cardiomyopathy post-COVID-19 have not been well described.
This case report highlights that COVID-19 can lead to severe dilated cardiomyopathy with significantly reduced ejection fraction even in young adults without prior comorbidities.

Hypothesis-generating for post-COVID cardiomyopathy in patients without comorbidities; larger studies needed to confirm association.
<ns4:p>As of 2022, myocardial injury associated with COVID-19 has been one of the most discussed topics in literature. Though variety of cardiac manifestations have been reported and described in scientific literature, case of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has not been well reported and described. We present a case of DCM post-COVID-19 without any co-morbidities who was admitted several times for cardiac symptoms post-COVID-19. As it was a new finding associated with COVID-19, it has been worth understanding the variations in which cardiac conditions manifest in COVID-19.</ns4:p>
