There are various etiologies of dilated cardiomyopathy. However, in young patients without a strong family history of cardiovascular disease, alcohol or drug abuse, viral infections, and absence of endocrine and metabolic abnormalities, ischemia is an unlikely cause. We present an interesting case of a young female without traditional risk factors who developed dilated cardiomyopathy following administration of a weight loss supplement xenadrine and had resolution of symptoms after discontinuation of the supplement.
扩张型心肌病有多种病因。然而，对于没有心血管疾病家族史、酗酒或药物滥用、病毒感染且无内分泌和代谢异常的年轻患者，缺血不太可能是病因。我们报告了一例有趣的病例，一名年轻女性没有传统风险因素，在服用减肥补充剂西奈君后发生了扩张型心肌病，停用该补充剂后症状缓解。
