Atrioventricular Block: An Unusual Presentation of Overactive Thyroid

The clinical features of hyperthyroidism are varied, but bradyarrhythmia and atrioventricular (AV) block are typically not reported in hyperthyroid patients. We present here a case of primary hyperthyroidism with symptomatic high-grade AV block as the sole presenting feature of hyperthyroidism witho...

description The clinical features of hyperthyroidism are varied, but bradyarrhythmia and atrioventricular (AV) block are typically not reported in hyperthyroid patients. We present here a case of primary hyperthyroidism with symptomatic high-grade AV block as the sole presenting feature of hyperthyroidism without any obvious precipitating factors for thyroid disease or AV block. This case highlights a rare presentation of high-grade AV block with the risk of progression to complete AV block as a complication of an untreated overactive thyroid.
