Popis: We present the case of a 25-year-old woman with desmoplakin cardiomyopathy–related myocarditis. Her high-sensitivity troponin and symptoms improved with pulse steroid therapy and mycophenolate mofetil. The literature lacks data to effectively guide the management of recurrent myocarditis in desmoplakin cardiomyopathy. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
