Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The common electrocardiographic abnormalities of hypothyroidism are sinus bradycardia, low voltage complexes, prolonged Q-T interval, and low to flat T waves. The initial presentation with supraventricular tachycardia is very rare and unusual. We report a case of primary hypothyroidism that presented with SVT as initial presentation who recovered with treatment. Keywords: hypothyroidism; supraventricular tachycardia; prolonged Q-T interval; sinus bradycardia.
