Abstrakt:	Polycythemia vera is a rare hematological disorder that can cause heart failure with reduced ejection fraction from chronic micro-vascular ischemia. Appropriately recognizing the underlying cause of cardiomyopathy is essential to decrease morbidity and mortality. Patients can present with elevated troponin level and have patent epicardial coronary arteries on coronary angiogram, hence presenting a diagnostic challenge for health care professionals. Furthermore, the presentation can mimic myocarditis. Herein, we report a case of a 61-year-old female who presented with heart failure due to microvascular thrombotic complication associated with polycythemia vera. Laboratory investigation and coronary angiogram were inconclusive. A high degree of clinical suspicion and utilizing non-invasive techniques, such as cardiac imaging, can describe myocardial pathology and aid with the diagnosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
