Radioiodine therapy in patients with type II amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis.
INTRODUCTION The treatment of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) still remains a clinical challenge, requiring the cooperation of both endocrinologists and cardiologists. Unfortunately, even today AIT is related to significantly increased mortality. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of radioidine therapy for type II AIT in 2 groups of patients: with high or nor...
متن کامل[Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis].
Amiodarone-induced thyroid dysfunction occurs in about 15-20% of patients under amiodarone therapy. Amiodarone-induced hypothyroidism (AIH) can develop in patients with an apparently normal thyroid gland or in those with an underlying chronic autoimmune thyroiditis. On a clinical ground, AIH is not challenging and can be easily treated with L-thyroxine therapy. Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis...
متن کاملManagement of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis.
Amiodarone is used increasingly in a number of cardiac conditions. Amiodarone is heavily iodinated and can cause thyroid dysfunction. The diagnosis of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis remains difficult and more common causes of thyrotoxicosis need to be considered and excluded. Amiodarone has a significant side effect profile, which includes thyroid dysfunction. Amiodarone is an effective drug...
متن کاملSuccessful treatment of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis.
BACKGROUND Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) is a difficult management problem about which there are little published data. We examined whether continuing amiodarone or differentiating AIT into 2 subtypes affected outcome. METHODS AND RESULTS The type and duration of antithyroid treatment and response were recorded in a consecutive series of 28 cases. Comparisons were made between those...
متن کاملAmiodarone-induced Thyrotoxicosis with Cardiopulmonary Arrest
We describe a case of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) with cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) in a 49-year-old woman. The patient had been treated with amiodarone for non-sustained ventricular tachycardia. Two weeks prior to her admission, she developed thyrotoxicosis and prednisolone (PSL, 30 mg daily) was administered with the continuation of amiodarone. However, she was admitted to our hos...
