“…V Hypertension. -Grainger et al (1945), noting the effect of thiouracil on hypertension not associated with thyrotoxicosis, found that little or no response occurred. Two of our cases had hypertension as the only cardiovascular abnormality and two more had established auricular fibrillation with hypertension.…”

“…Nevertheless, most of the published series of cases of thyrotoxicosis have contained several examples of such complications as auricular fibrillation Thus Himsworth (1944) notes two cases of auricular fibrillation in 33 cases of hyperthyroidism. Grainger et al (1945), reporting 29 cases of thyrotoxicosis, mentions two cases of patients with auricular fibrillation who reverted spontaneously to normal rhythm after treatment by thiouracil. Nussey (1944) mentions four cases of auricular fibrillation in a series of 29 cases of thyrotoxicosis.…”

“…Grainger e colaboradores (19), em 1945, não comentam sobre qualquer alteração hepática ao discutir os efeitos tóxicos do tiouracil, enquanto Gargill e colaboradores (20), no mesmo ano, descrevem um caso de icterícia com achado de estase biliar aguda, ocorrido após o uso do tiouracil. Em 1946, Moore e colaboradores (21), em um estudo cooperativo multicêntrico visando descrever as manifestações tóxicas desta droga, cita de modo breve que já havia sido relatado dano hepático grave, mas que as lesões não se mostraram fatais.…”

“…Associated cardiac disabilities (mitral stenosis) are reported in only one of the patients with persistent fibrillation, McGavack and others (1945) reported reversion to sinus rhythm with thiouracil alone in 12 out of 18 patients, one of the 12 having bundle-branch block. Grainger's (1945) two patients with fibrillation both reverted spontaneously to sinus rhythm. Clarke (1948) achieved reversion to sinus rhythm in three out of six patients with thiouracil alone, while Wilson (1946) reported reversion to sinus rhythm in five out of six cases included in the present series.…”
