A rare case of hypothyroidism presenting as massive pericardial effusion with cardiac tamponade
Journal Title: Perspectives In Medical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Cardiovascular signs and sympotms are one of most underdiagnosed part of thyroid disorders. On the basis of the knowledge of the cellular mechanisms of thyroid hormone on the heart and cardiovascular system, it is easy to understand changes in cardiac output, cardiac contractility, blood pressure, vascular resistance, and rhythm disturbances that result from thyroid dysfunction. Considering high prevalance of thyroid disease, high degree of suspicion is mandatory while dealing with cardiac menifestations of thyroid disease.The fact that,cardiac changes are completely reversible at least in initial stages of the disease, it makes sense to have suspicion of thyroid disrders in cardiac cases.
