Complete heart block in a young man resolved with hyperthyroidism treatment. This suggests hyperthyroidism can directly cause heart block, potentially worsened by acute illness.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Hyperthyroidism is associated with various cardiovascular complications.
  • Atrioventricular (AV) conduction abnormalities can occur in hyperthyroidism.

Observation:

  • A 29-year-old male presented with complete heart block during acute febrile illness.
  • Negative etiological workup for the febrile illness and endomyocardial biopsy ruling out carditis.
  • Complete resolution of heart block after fever subsided and antithyroid treatment.

Findings:

  • Complete heart block in this case appears to be a direct manifestation of hyperthyroidism.
  • Acute febrile illness may have acted as a precipitating or aggravating factor for AV conduction impairment.

Implications:
