Cardiomyopathy and TB?

by

 

I have a friend who recently died of sudden death dilated cardiomyopathy. He had had TB when younger (he died at 44 - the TB was in his adolescence) and was taking TB preventative medications.

Does anyone know if there are known cases of TB damaging the heart muscle and potentially causing cardiomyopathy?

Thanks,
Sharon - please email me directly.
