Abstract
Abstract Anti-tubercular drugs are associated some common and uncommon adverse effects. We report the association between cardiomyopathy and the use of anti-tubercular drugs. In the two cases described in the case report the different causes of cardiomyopathy are ruled out leading to the diagnosis of drug induced cardiomyopathy. The report also throws light on the various aspects of this association and the clinical implications.
