“…If cardiac conditions are stable and euthyroidism is expected to be restored in a short time (likely < 40 days), AMIO can be safely discontinued and eventually reinstituted after euthyroidism restoration; if cardiac conditions are unstable and require AMIO continuation, the drug should not necessarily be withdrawn. In the latter situation, a balance between longer exposure of the heart to thyroid hormone excess and a prompt control of thyrotoxicosis with total thyroidectomy should be considered [65,69,83]. The problem is more complex with type 1 and mixed/indefinite AIT cases.…”

“…Jeśli zaś choroba serca jest niestabilna i wymaga kontynuacji AMIO, lek nie musi być wycofany. W tej ostatniej sytuacji należy rozstrzygnąć, czy istotniejsze jest szybsze wyrównanie nadczynności tarczycy, czy kontynuacja AMIO, a przez to wydłużona ekspozycja serca na hormony tarczycowe [65,69,83]. Problem jest bardziej złożony u chorych z typem 1 AIT oraz w postaciach mieszanych/nieokreślonych.…”

“…18 Thyroidectomy may be also indicated. 19,20 AIT constitutes a significant clinical challenge. Hyperthyroidism can promote arrhythmia, exacerbation of heart insufficiency, and, consequently, it may lead to increased mortality, especially in elderly patients with left ventricular dysfunction.…”

“…For patients who fail to respond to therapy, total thyroidectomy should be considered (25)(26)(27). Often, the risk of surgery under careful cardiovascular monitoring is less than the risk of several months of uncontrolled thyrotoxicosis.…”
