Abstract:
Thyroid hormones significantly influence the heart's metabolism, playing a key role in regulating cardiac function and cardiovascular hemodynamics. In cases of thyrotoxicosis, the excessive production of thyroid hormones induces remarkable hemodynamic alterations in the cardiovascular system. In this report, we discuss the case of a 70-year-old patient admitted for dyspnea with a severe high gradient of aortic stenosis due to an overactive thyroid. This case report aims to illustrate the impact of systemic conditions on cardiac hemodynamics.
