ABSTRACT
We see an increasing number of patients with amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis. This condition can be treated pharmacologically, but treatment over several months may give rise to adverse reactions. In most cases we recommend that amiodarone therapy be continued despite newly detected thyrotoxicosis. Particularly in cases of heart failure, one should not wait too long before considering thyroidectomy. Treatment of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis must be delivered with close collaboration between endocrinologist and cardiologist.
