ABSTRACT
A 40-year-old patient with diagnosed thrombophilia was admitted to the Department due to symptoms suggestive of pulmonary embolism. The imaging results excluded pulmonary embolism; echocardiography revealed dilated cardiomyopathy. The report discusses the association between thrombophilia and possible development of cardiomyopathy.
