RESUMEN
Dermatomyositis is a rare systemic autoimmune disease characterized by primary damage of the skin and striated muscles with the development of chronic muscle weakness. Due to the polymorphic nature of the clinical picture, early diagnosis of dermatomyositis is challenging since patients may visit different specialists depending on predominating symptoms. This entails a late diagnosis and, as a result, the absence of necessary treatment. The article presents a clinical case of a late diagnosis of dermatomyositis, which resulted in the development of autoimmune myocarditis with complete atrioventricular block in a female patient.
