Overview
Although numerous studies [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] linked celiac disease to pericarditis, myocarditis, endocarditis and cardiomyopathy, the largest population based retrospective cohort study (based on 14332 patients data, the Swedish national in-patient registry between 1964-2003) results[11] demonstrated no association between these forms of heart diseases and celiac disease. Thus, taken together, the data do not suggest a link between celiac disease and heart disease.
