Thyrotoxic cardiomyopathy - A case report
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Cardiomyopathy is an uncommon presentation in hyperthyroid patients. There are very few case reports of thyrotoxic cardiomyopathy. The mechanism due to which cardiomyopathy occurs in hyperthyroid patients is not very well understood. After extensive literature search, it was found that some of the mechanisms described which include genomic, non-genomic and direct action of Thyroid hormone on the cardiac muscle may cause cardiomyopathy. In this case report, a case of Multi-nodular goitre with cardiomyopathy is described.
