Background
Celiac disease (CD), an immune-mediated inflammation of the small intestine, occurs in genetically predisposed individuals, and is caused by sensitivity to dietary gluten and related proteins [1]. Globally, the prevalence of celiac disease is 1.4% based on serologic test results, and 0.7% based on biopsy results [2]. Celiac disease is frequently associated with extra-intestinal manifestations, including iron deficiency anemia, dermatologic eruptions, diabetes mellitus, thyroid disease, and various connective tissue disorders, but is rarely associated with cardiomyopathy [3].
