“…We have recently completed a randomized study comparing the effects of diltiazem on cardiac and thyroid function with propranolol therapy in twenty newly diagnosed thyrotoxic patients and found that diltiazem is effective as well as propranob! for the treatment of tachycardia induced by hyperthyroidism (Keletimur et al, 1993). In none of the above studies (including ours) was diltiazem used together with an antithyroid drug.…”

“…Recently we did a randomized study comparing the effects of diltiazem on cardiac and thyroid function tests with propranolol therapy in a larger group of 20 newly diagnosed hyperthyroid patients and demonstrated that diltiazem was effective as well as propranolol for the treatment of sympathomimetic manifestations caused by hyperthyroidism (Keletimur et al, 1993). We have also shown that diltiazem did not affect thyroid function tests in contrast to propranolol (Keletimur et al, 1993). As far as we searched the relevant literature we could not find any study in which diltiazem and propylthiouracil combination was used in hyperthyroid patients.…”

A young man with previously unrecognized Graves' disease presented with atrial fibrillation and severe low-output heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy. The patient's cardiomyopathy resolved and cardiac function recovered shortly after hyperthyroidism and tachycardia were treated during hospitalization. The temporal relationship between heart rate and cardiac function during the recovery period suggests that chronic tachycardia may have been an important cause of his cardiac dysfunction. Thyrotoxicosis seemed to be directly responsible for the development of sustained supraventricular tachycardia in this patient, which then led to tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy causing severe low-output heart failure. Although relatively infrequent, this etiology should not be overlooked in patients thyrotoxicosis and heart failure. This is the first case in which the time course and the temporal relationship between the control of heart rate and the recovery of cardiac function are illustrated in a thyrotoxic patient.
