چکیده
Celiac disease is predominantly a disease of the small intestine characterized by chronic malabsorption in genetically susceptible individuals who ingest grains containing gluten, such as wheat, barley and rye. Although previously believed to be uncommon, celiac disease may be present in up to 1% of the general population.

We describe a patient with celiac disease associated with cardiomyopathy and pulmonary hemosiderosis.
