Abstract:
Tachycardia and atrial fibrillation, early symptoms of hyperthyroidism indicate significant hemodynamic variation in cardiovascular system, if left untreated and further deterioration in hemodynamics can result in chronic heart failure and liver dysfunction even a fatal event. We describe a female patient of Graves' hyperthyroidism to present the continuum of the pathophysiology development of the disease, to highlight the hemodynamic variation is a dominant contributing factor of Graves' hyperthyroidism complication, we wish to emphasize cardiac manifestations in the setting of thyrotoxicosis should be treated promptly and aggressively.
