Electrically heated gloves for intermittent digital ischaemia.

et al.4 Moreover, because of its slow elimination amiodarone would inhibit uptake of radioactive iodine for months. Although amiodarone has been reported to cause thyrotoxicosis, this appears to be rare,3 probably occurring only in subjects with associated iodine deficiency (Jod-Basedow effect). Thus amiodarone controls thyrotoxicosis clinically and biochemically but has no advantages over equivalent doses of amiodarone except for its antiarrhythmic effects, and it may delay subsequent control by carbimazole.
