ABSTRACT
Thyroid hormones have a profound effect on the metabolism. The cardiovascular system is particularly sensitive to this metabolic alteration. Therefore it is not surprising that thyroid dysfunction can produce dramatic cardiovascular effects, often mimicking primary cardiac disease.

Furthermore, cardiac disease and amiodarone therapy can also produce thyroid abnormality.
