[Restrictive cardiac involvement in a patient with dyserythropoietic anemia and secondary hemochromatosis].

We report a case of a 63 year old woman diagnosed with dyserythropoietic anemia who was admitted to our hospital with congestive heart failure. Iron's metabolism disturbance, CT-Scan and magnetic resonance imaging allowed us to make the diagnosis of acquired hemochromatosis due to multiple transfusions. The echocardiographic study was compatible with a myocardial restrictive pattern caused by iron deposits.

[Reversible dilated cardiomyopathy and hyperthyroidism].

Thyrotoxicosis may precipitate atrial fibrillation, myocardial ischemia or heart failure if underlying heart disease is present. However, reversible dilated cardiomyopathy is rare. We report a case of a 51-year-old man with thyrotoxicosis and dilated cardiomyopathy that was reversed with antithyroid treatment.
