Abstract:
Thyroid hormones, TSH and antithyroid antibodies were prospectively controlled in 116 patients treated with amiodarone. Hypothyroidism occurred in 4 patients (3.7%) mainly early (average = 6 months). Hyperthyroidism was seen among 13 patients (11.9%) and its prevalence was proportional to therapy duration.
