  • Title: The heart and hyperthyroidism. Use of beta-adrenergic blocking drugs.
    Author: Levey GS.
    Journal: Med Clin North Am; 1975 Sep; 59(5):1193-9. PubMed ID: 240093.
    Abstract:
    Many of the manifestations of hyperthyroidism are secondary to increased adrenergic activity. In recent years the beta adrenergic blocking drugs, as represented by d,1-propranolol, have become the agents of choice for ameliorating the adrenergic signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Propranolol improves the tachycardia, tremor, restlessness, anxiety, and myopathy.
