  • Title: Thyrotoxicosis-an uncommon cause of heart failure.
    Author: Froeschl M, Haddad H, Commons AS, Veinot JP.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Pathol; 2005; 14(1):24-7. PubMed ID: 15710288.
    Abstract:
    A 26-year-old man presented with high output heart failure and severe systolic left ventricular dysfunction. The underlying cause was determined to be thyrotoxicosis. With aggressive treatment of the hyperthyroid state, near-normalization of the patient's left ventricular systolic function was achieved. Unfortunately, he succumbed to pancreatitis, followed by multiple ICU complications. A brief review of the literature is provided.
