Olanzapine induced dilated cardiomyopathy
Beeresha Puttegowda1, Joseph Theodore2, Ramesh Basappa3, Manjunath Cholenally Nanjappa4.
A 28-year-old male patient with bipolar disorder taking olanzapine and lorazepam for almost
10 years presented with weight gain, diabetes, and anasarca was examined in this study. Evaluation
of the patient revealed he was in heart failure. The reason for his heart failure was ambiguous and
an investigation into it revealed negative results. Literature search conducted showed a few reported
cases of putative olanzapine induced cardiomyopathy. One such relatively rare case is presented
here.
