Abstract
Giant cell myocarditis (GCM) is a rare but often fatal disease commonly affecting young adults. Its nonspecific presentation and possible co-occurrence with other cardiac diseases make it a challenging diagnosis. We report a case of 48-year-old patient who presented with progressive dyspnea on exertion due to GCM, and discuss their hospital course leading to recovery. We also review the literature on this rare disease entity, highlighting its diagnosis and management.
