Los trastornos tiroideos se han ligado a manifestaciones multiorgánicas y/o sistemáticas; sin embargo, es importante conocer el rol de las alteraciones tiroideas en el tejido miocárdico, puesto que se conoce su implicación directa en el funcionamiento del mismo y sus alteraciones conllevan efectos deletéreos en el tejido miocárdico a nivel intracelular. Es necesario reconocer la función de la triyodotironina (T3) que actúa a nivel de los receptores nucleares los cuales, se unen a elementos sensibles de las tiroides en el promotor de genes diana. Además la función de la triyodotironina (T3) influye en genes claves específicos de miocitos, que regulados bajo este mecanismo, se pueden generar a nivel cardíaco, aumento de la contractilidad cardíaca, alto gasto cardíaco, hipertensión sistólica con presión de pulso amplia...(AU)

La enfermedad de Graves es un proceso inmunomediado en el que autoanticuerpos se dirigen contra el receptor de tirotrofina. Por su acción estimulante sobre la glándula tiroides, se genera crecimiento glandular difuso y aumento de la hormonogénesis. Se caracteriza por el comienzo subagudo de síntomas constitucionales, neuromusculares, cardiovasculares, gastrointestinales y oculares, seguidos en algunos casos de la aparición de manifestaciones cutáneas como la dermopatía tiroidea o mixedema. En pediatría la enfermedad de Graves es infrecuente (aunque es la causa más frecuente de hipertiroidismo), pero la cronología de aparición de los síntomas está bien descrita; es rara la aparición de dermopatía en ausencia de otros síntomas de hipertiroidismo y sin afectación ocular. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 15 años con dermopatía tiroidea por enfermedad de Graves sin oftalmopatía ni otros síntomas de hipertiroidismo clínico asociados.
Graves disease is an immune-mediated process characterized by the presence of autoantibodies to thyrotropin receptors. Its stimulating action on the thyroid gland causes diffuse glandular growth and increased hormone production. Graves disease is characterized by a subacute onset of non-specific, neuromuscular, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and eye symptoms, sometimes followed by skin manifestations, such as thyroid dermopathy or myxedema. In pediatrics, Graves disease is rare (although it is the most frequent cause of hyperthyroidism). However, the chronology of symptom onset has been well described; the development of dermopathy in the absence of other symptoms of hyperthyroidism and without eye involvement is rare. Here we describe the case of a 15-year-old female patient with thyroid dermopathy due to Graves disease without eye disease or other associated clinical symptoms of hyperthyroidism.

Studies have demonstrated the detrimental effects of overt hyperthyroidism on sexual functioning.Here,we comprehensively reviewed the studies that focused on the association between overt hyperthyroidism and erectile dysfunction (ED).After the systematic searching for relevant studies,we find that overt hyperthyroidism is significantly associated with the high risk of ED.The prevalence of ED in patients with hyperthyroidism ranges from 3.05% to 85%,while that in general population is 2.16% to 33.8%.A study reported that the erectile functioning of the hyperthyroidism patients was improved (International Index of Erectile Function:22.1±6.9 vs. 25.2±5.1) after the achievement of euthyroidism.The underlying mechanism of the increase in the risk of ED by overt hyperthyroidism might be correlated to the dysfunction of hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis,dysregulation of sex hormones,abnormal expression of thyroid hormone receptors,and psychiatric or psychological disturbances (e.g.,depression,anxiety,and irritability).Since limited clinical trials have been conducted,additional well-designed cohorts with sizable samples are warranted to elucidate the evidence and mechanism of hyperthyroidism predisposing to ED.The present review indicates that overt hyperthyroidism and the risk of ED are associated,which reminds the clinicians should assess the thyroid stimulating hormone in hyperthyroidism patients presenting with ED,especially in those without positive conventional laboratory findings for causing ED.

Abstract Background: Hyperthyroidism (Hy) is an endocrine disorder, in which the thyroid hormones markedly alter the cardiac function. Increased myocardial contractility and cardiac output, improvement in diastolic relaxation, changes in electrical activity, increments in ventricular mass, and arrhythmias have been reported. However, the influences of thyroid hormones upon molecular mechanisms of cardiac functions have not yet been fully understood. Objectives: To evaluate changes in cardiac contractile parameters and the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) function in induced hyperthyroid rats. Methods: Hy was induced by intraperitoneal injections of T3 (15 μg/100 g) for 10 days. Contractile parameters and NCX function were evaluated in the isolated papillary muscle. Data normality was confirmed by the Shapiro-Wilk test. The comparison between groups was performed through an unpaired Student's t-test. Results are expressed as mean ± SD. The accepted significance level was p < 0.05. Results: Our data revealed, in the Hy group, an increase of 30.98% in the maximum speed of diastolic relaxation (-284.64 ± 70.70 vs. -217.31 ± 40.30 mN/mm2/sec (p = 0.027)) and a boost of 149% in the NCX function in late phase of relaxation (20.17 ± 7.90 vs. 50.22 ± 11.94 minutes (p = 0.002)), with no changes in the maximum twitch force (p = 0.605) or maximum speed of systolic contraction (p = 0.208) when compared to the control. Conclusion: The improvement in relaxation parameters is hypothetically attributed to an increase in Sarco-Endoplasmic Reticulum Ca2+ATPase isoform 2 (SERCA2) expression and an increased calcium flow through L-type channels that boosted the NCX function.

Abstract Background: The frequency of autoimmune diseases and thyroid cancer has been increasingly reported in association with rosacea. However, studies investigating thyroid diseases in rosacea are scarce with conflicting results. Objective: To investigate the relationship between thyroid disorders and rosacea. Methods: A large case-control study on ageand gender-matched 2091 rosacea patients and 9572 controls was conducted. Rosacea patients using the rosacea-specific ICD codes were compiled from the hospital records. Additionally, all participants were evaluated in terms of the presence of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Conditional logistic regression analysis was used to compute case-control odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals. Results: The analysis comprehended 2091 rosacea patients (1546 female, 545 male; mean 48.73 ± 14.53 years) and 9572 controls (7009 female, 2563 male; mean 48.73 ± 15.1 years). Whereas the rate of hypothyroidism was significantly higher in rosacea patients (OR = 1.3, 95% CI 1.13-1.49, p < 0.001), there was no significant difference in the rate of hyperthyroidism between the groups (OR = 1.12, 95% CI 0.81-1.53, p = 0.497). Stratification for gender revealed a significant association between hypothyroidism and rosacea in females (OR = 1.27, 95% CI 1.1-1.47, p = 0.002) and males (OR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.04-2.4, p = 0.032). The frequency of hypothyroidism in rosacea patients increased towards the age range of 40-49 and then decreased, parallel with the hypothyroidism frequency of the study population. Study limitations: Different subtypes and severities of rosacea were not distinguished. Conclusions: Hypothyroidism may be a comorbidity of rosacea and investigation for hypothyroidism may be appropriate when evaluating rosacea patients.

RESUMEN El síndrome de Wilkie o de arteria mesentérica superior es una causa poco común de obstrucción intestinal proximal, relacionada a pérdida de peso reciente. Reportamos el caso de una mujer de 19 años que se presenta a la clínica con pérdida de peso, dolor abdominal, nausea y vomito. Los exámenes de laboratorio reportaron anemia, hipoalbuminemia, hipomagnesemia y una hormona estimulante de la tiroides suprimida secundario al uso con levotiroxina. Se realizó una serie esofagogastroduodenal con datos compatibles con dilatación gástrica severa, gastroparesia y una tomografía axial computada reveló un ángulo aortomesentérico de 11,7°. Se inicio manejo conservador a base de nutrición enteral y parenteral total, siendo este el tratamiento de elección. En casos refractarios, la cirugía es una opción segura y efectiva.
ABSTRACT Wilkie's syndrome or superior mesenteric artery syndrome is an unusual cause of proximal intestinal obstruction, primarily attributed to recent weight loss. We report the case of a 19-year-old woman comes to our clinic and reports weight loss, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Laboratory tests revealed anemia, hypoalbuminemia, hypomagnesemia, and a suppressed thyroid stimulating hormone secondary to levothyroxine. A barium swallow test showed gastric dilatation, delayed gastric emptying and an axial computed tomography revealed an aortomesenteric angle of 11.7°. Conservative management with total parenteral and enteral nutrition was initiated, being the first-line treatment. In refractory cases surgery is a safe and effective option.

ABSTRACT Hyperthyroidism can induce elevation in several liver function tests including aminotransferases, alkaline phosphatases and, less frequently, serum bilirubin. These alterations are usually mild and asymptomatic. We report a 26 year-old male presenting with palpitations, progressive jaundice, choluria and generalized itching. Laboratory tests were compatible with hyperthyroidism and a mild elevation of bilirubin, alkaline phosphatases and gamma glutamyl transpeptidase. A liver biopsy showed portal hepatitis with canalicular cholestasis. The patient was treated temporarily with glucocorticoids, cholestyramine and betablockade. Thereafter, he was treated with radioactive iodine, after which serum bilirubin decreased steadily until normalization in ten weeks.
El hipertiroidismo puede producir elevación de aminotransferasas, fosfatasas alcalinas y, menos frecuentemente, de bilirrubina sérica. Habitualmente, estas alteraciones son leves y asintomáticas. Reportamos un hombre de 26 años con hipertiroidismo secundario a enfermedad de Basedow-Graves, que debutó con un cuadro colestásico, inicialmente estudiado por sospecha de patología hepática autoinmune que incluyó biopsia hepática. Posteriormente, se diagnosticó hipertiroidismo que fue tratado con glucocorticoides, colestiramina y beta bloqueo como puente a terapia definitiva con radioyodo. La evolución mostró disminución progresiva hasta la normalización de bilirrubina sérica.

ABSTRACT Objective: Life expectancy is increasing worldwide and studies have been demonstrating that elevated serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) concentration in elderly is associated with some better health outcomes. This elevation is somewhat physiological as aging. The aim of this study was to investigate the heart rate (HR) response during a graded exercise test and its recovery in healthy elderly, comparing subjects within serum TSH in the lower limit of reference range to those within the TSH in the upper limit. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 86 healthy elderly aged 71.5 ± 5.1 years, with serum TSH between 0.4 - 4.0 mUl/mL. The participants were divided into two groups according to TSH level: < 1.0 mUl/mL (n = 13) and ≥ 1.0 µUI/mL (n = 73). All participants performed an ergometric test on a treadmill. The HR was recorded and analyzed at rest, during exercise and during the three minutes immediately after exercise. Results: No differences were observed in relation to HR at peak of exercise (TSH < 1.0 µUI/mL: 133.9 ± 22.5 bpm vs. TSH ≥ 1.0 µUI/mL: 132.4 ± 21.3 bpm; p = 0.70) and during the first minute of recovery phase (TSH < 1.0 µUI/mL: 122.3 ± 23.1 bpm vs. TSH ≥ 1.0 µUI/mL: 115.7 ± 18.4 bpm p = 0.33). The groups also presented similar chronotropic index (TSH < 1.0 µUI/mL: 78.1 ± 30.6 vs. TSH ≥ 1.0 µUI/mL: 79.5 ± 26.4; p = 0.74). Conclusion: In this sample studied, there were no difference between lower and upper TSH level concerning HR response during rest, peak of exercise and exercise recovery.

RESUMEN Existen pocos estudios que describan las complicaciones neuromusculares del hipertiroidismo. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 36 años con antecedente de enfermedad de Graves en manejo médico, quien presentó compromiso motor y sensitivo progresivo en extremidades inferiores hasta comprometer la marcha. La electromiografía fue compatible con polineuropatía desmielinizante aguda, la resonancia nuclear magnética sugirió síndrome de Guillain-Barré. Se proporcionó manejo con plasmaféresis y se ajustó tratamiento tiroideo presentando mejoría transitoria. Posteriormente presentó deterioro neurológico con debilidad ascendente y compromiso deglutorio; a pesar de inicio de ciclo de inmunoglobulina persistió empeoramiento clínico con requerimiento de soporte ventilatorio; se decidió realizar tiroidectomía, que resultó en mejoría clínica y resolución del cuadro.
ABSTRACT There are few studies that describe the neuromuscular complications of hyperthyroidism. We present the case of a 36-year-old woman with a history of Graves' disease in medical management, who presented motor and sensitive involvement in the lower limbs until compromising gait. Electromyography was compatible with acute demyelinating polyneuropathy, nuclear magnetic resonance suggested Guillain-Barré syndrome. Management with plasmapheresis was indicated, and thyroid therapy was adjusted with transient improvement. Subsequently, she presented neurological deterioration with ascending weakness and swallowing compromise; despite an immunoglobulin cycle regimen, clinical worsening persisted with the requirement of ventilatory support; thyroidectomy was performed resulting in clinical improvement and resolution of the condition.

The association between subclinical thyroid dysfunctions and autonomic modulation changes has been described by many studies with conflicting results. We aimed to analyze the association between subclinical hyperthyroidism (SCHyper), subclinical hypothyroidism (SCHypo), and heart rate variability (HRV) using the baseline from ELSA-Brasil. SCHyper and SCHypo were classified by use of medication to treat thyroid disorders, thyrotropin levels respectively above and under the reference range, and normal free thyroxine levels. For HRV, the participants underwent 10 min in supine position and the R-R intervals of the final 5 min were selected for analysis. We first used linear regression models to report crude data and then, multivariate adjustment for sociodemographic (age, sex, and race) and cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, smoking, body mass index, use of alcohol, and leisure physical activity) using the euthyroid group as reference. From 9270 subjects (median age, 50; interquartile range: 44-56), 8623 (93.0%) were classified as euthyroid, 136 (1.5%) as SCHyper, and 511 (5.5%) as SCHypo. Compared to euthyroid subjects, SCHyper participants presented significantly higher heart rate (68.8 vs 66.5 for euthyroidism, P=0.007) and shorter R-R intervals (871.4 vs 901.6, P=0.007). Although SCHyper was associated with lower standard deviation of NN interval (SDNN) (β: -0.070; 95% confidence interval (95%CI): -0.014 to -0.009) and low-frequency (LF) (β: -0.242, 95%CI: -0.426 to -0.058) compared to the euthyroid group, these differences lost significance after multivariate adjustment for confounders. No significant differences were found for HRV in SCHypo. No association was found between HRV and SCHyper or SCHypo compared to euthyroid subjects in this sample of apparently healthy subjects.

ABSTRACT Purpose Premature ejaculation is considered the most common type of male sexual dysfunction. Hormonal controls of ejaculation have not been exactly elucidated. The aim of our study is to investigate the role of hormonal factors in patients with premature ejaculation. Materials and Methods Sixty-three participants who consulted our outpatient clinics with complaints of premature ejaculation and 39 healthy men as a control group selected from volunteers were included in the study. A total of 102 sexual active men aged between 21 and 76 years were included. Premature ejaculation diagnostic tool questionnaires were used to assessment of premature ejaculation. Serum levels of follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin, total and free testosterone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, free triiodothyronine and thyroxine were measured. Results Thyroid-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and prolactin levels were significantly lower in men with premature ejaculation according to premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (p=0.017, 0.007 and 0.007, respectively). Luteinizing hormone level (OR, 1.293; p=0.014) was found to be an independent risk factor for premature ejaculation. Conclusions Luteinizing hormone, prolactin, and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels are associated with premature ejaculation which was diagnosed by premature ejaculation diagnostic tool questionnaires. The relationship between these findings have to be determined by more extensive studies.

Introducción: La enfermedad trofoblástica gestacional es un espectro de enfermedades de la placenta, existiendo entre ellas algunas con potencial de invasión y metástasis, dentro de las cuales se incluye la mola invasiva, coriocarcinoma, tumores del sitio de inserción de la placenta y mola hidatidiforme. Esta última a su vez se divide en mola completa y parcial, diferenciándose en histopatología, morfología, cariotipo, malignización y comportamiento clínico, que es el punto al cual nos referiremos en este caso. Caso clínico: mujer de 46 años ingresa por hemoptisis, metrorragia, disnea a pequeños esfuerzos, ortopnea y disnea paroxística nocturna, asociado a hipertensión, taquicardia, masa hipogástrica firme e inmóvil y edema de extremidades. Se realiza ecografía abdominal compatible con MH y bhCG elevada. Evoluciona con crisis hipertensivas, insuficiencia cardiaca congestiva y tirotoxicosis. Inicia trabajo de parto expulsando 665 grs de mola, presentando posteriormente a legrado uterino anemia severa y shock hipovolémico, requiriendo transfusiones y drogas vasoactivas. Se recupera progresivamente con posterior control al alta de bhCG indetectable a los 6 meses. Discusión: Es infrecuenta en la actualidad la presentación clínica clásica de la mola hidatidiforme completa debido al diagnóstico y control precoz del embarazo asociado al uso masivo de la ecografía. Sin embargo es relevante tener un alto grado de sospecha de esta patología debido a sus graves consecuencias, y así realizar una derivación y manejo precoz.
Background: Gestational trophoblastic disease is a spectrum of diseases of the placenta, existing some with potential for invasion and metastasis, among which include invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, tumors of the insertion site of the placenta and hydatidiform mole. The last one is divided into complete and partial mole, differing in histopathology, morphology, karyotype, and clinical malignant behavior, witch is the point we refer to in this case. Case report: 46 year old woman admitted for hemoptysis, metrorrhagia, dyspnea on slight exertion, orthopnea and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea associated with hypertension, tachycardia, firm and immovable hypogastric mass and limb edema. Abdominal ultrasound compatible with MH and high BhCG is performed. Evolve with hypertensive crisis, congestive heart failure and thyrotoxicosis. Labor starts driving out 665 grams of mole, after the curettage present hypovolemic shock and severe anemia requiring transfusions and vasoactive drugs. It gradually recovers further control the discharge of BhCG undetectable at 6 months. Discussion: It is currently infrequent classical clinical presentation of complete hydatidiform mole due to early diagnosis and management of pregnancy associated with the widespread use of ultrasound. However it is important to have a high degree of suspicion of this disease because of its serious consequences, and thus make a referral and early management.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in adults, and is encountered in 10-15% of the patients with hyperthyroidism. Unless euthyroidism is restored, pharmacological or electrical cardioversion is controversial in patients with AF who remain hyperthyroid. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of electrical cardioversion and predictors of AF recurrence in hyperthyroid and euthyroid patients. Methods: The study included 33 hyperthyroid (21 males) and 48 euthyroid (17 males) patients with persistent AF. The patients were sedated with intravenous midazolam before undergoing electrical cardioversion delivered by synchronized biphasic shocks. Rates of AF recurrence were recorded. Results: Mean follow-up was 23.63 ± 3.74 months in the hyperthyroid group and 22.78 ± 3.15 months in the euthyroid group (p = 0.51). AF recurred in 14 (43.8%) and 21 (44.7%) patients in each group, respectively (p = 0.93). Multivariate regression analysis in each group showed that AF duration was the only predictor of AF recurrence, with odds ratios of 1.38 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.05 - 1.82, p = 0.02) in the hyperthyroid group and 1.42 (95% CI = 1.05 - 1.91, p= 0.02) in the euthyroid group. Conclusion: Rates of long-term AF recurrence were similar in successfully cardioverted hyperthyroid and euthyroid patients. The only predictor of AF recurrence in both groups was AF duration.
Fundamento: A fibrilação atrial (FA) é a arritmia mais comum em adultos e é encontrada em 10-15% dos pacientes com hipertireoidismo. A menos que haja retorno ao eutireoidismo, a cardioversão farmacológica ou elétrica é controversa em pacientes com FA que permanecem com hipertireoidismo. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a eficácia da cardioversão elétrica e os preditores de recorrência de FA em pacientes com hipertireoidismo e eutireoidismo. Métodos: O estudo incluiu pacientes com FA persistente, dos quais 33 (21 homens) apresentavam hipertireoidismo e 48 (17 homens) eutireoidismo. Os pacientes foram sedados com midazolam endovenoso antes de serem submetidos à cardioversão elétrica com choques sincronizados bifásicos. As taxas de recorrência da FA foram registradas. Resultados: O tempo médio de seguimento foi de 23,63 ± 3,74 meses no grupo com hipertireoidismo e 22,78 ± 3,15 meses no grupo com eutireoidismo (p = 0,51). A FA recorreu em 14 (43,8%) e 21 (44,7%) pacientes em cada grupo, respectivamente (p = 0,93). Uma análise de regressão multivariada em cada grupo mostrou que a duração da FA foi o único preditor de recorrência de FA com odds ratios de 1,38 (intervalo de confiança [IC] 95% = 1,05 - 1,82, p = 0,02) no grupo com hipertireoidismo e 1,42 (IC 95% = 1,05 - 1,91, p = 0,02) no grupo com eutireoidismo. Conclusão: As taxas de recorrência da FA a longo prazo foram semelhantes em pacientes com hipertireoidismo e eutireoidismo submetidos com sucesso à cardioversão. A duração da FA foi o único preditor de recorrência da FA em ambos os grupos.

Os pacientes com diabetes mellitus (DM) apresentam maior prevalência de doenças tireoidianas que a população geral. A autoimunidade certamente é um fator-chave na relação entre essas disfunções endócrinas. Entretanto, outros mecanismos, como redução da captação de iodeto, da atividade tireoperoxidase e aumento do estresse oxidativo na glândula tireoide, também parecem contribuir para este fato. O presente trabalho visa rever aspectos importantes na relação entre DM e doenças tireoidianas, com especial ênfase nos mecanismos envolvidos no aumento do estresse oxidativo na glândula tireoide decorrente do DM...
Diabetes mellitus (DM) patients show a greater prevalence of thyroid disorders than general population. Autoimmunity is a key factor in the relation between these endocrine diseases. However, additional mechanisms, such as reduction of iodide uptake and thyroperoxidase activity, besides increased oxidative stress in the thyroid gland seem to contribute for this fact. The present work aims to review important aspects in the relation between DM and thyroid disease, with special emphasis in the mechanisms involved in the increased oxidative stress in the thyroid gland due to DM...

Introducción: Hipertiroidismo neonatal es una condición usualmente autolimitada, generalmente asociada al paso transplacentario de anticuerpos estimulantes de tiroides, secundario a enfermedades autoinmunes maternas. Detectar oportunamente a las madres con estos antecedentes, permitirá disminuir el riesgo de eventos adversos fetales. Objetivo: Presentar un caso de hipertiroidismo neonatal, asociado a falla cardíaca y restricción del crecimiento intrauterino, Caso clínico: Recién nacido de 36 semanas, peso de nacimiento 1.240 g. Evolucionó con taquicardia, frialdad distal, exoftalmos, hepatomegalia y temblores. Ecocardiograma descartó alteración cardíaca estructural. Por hallazgos maternos sugerentes de hipertiroidismo, se realizaron exámenes encontrando TSH de 0,01 uUI/ml, T4 libre de 7,7 ng/dl, con lo que se confirmó el diagnóstico de hipertiroidismo neonatal. Se manejó con metimazol y propanolol con resolución de los síntomas y descenso de los niveles de T4 libre. Conclusiones: Conocer los antecedentes maternos permite identificar y manejar las complicaciones neonatales del hipertiroidismo. La falla cardíaca y otras alteraciones cardiopulmonares son los factores determinantes de la mortalidad en el período neonatal temprano. Debe haber un seguimiento a los recién nacidos de riesgo.
Neonatal hyperthyroidism is usually a self-limited condition frequently associated with transplacental passage of thyroid stimulating antibodies secondary to maternal autoimmune disorders. To timely detect mothers with this medical antecedents decreases the risk for fetal adverse events. Objective: To report a case of neonatal hyperthyroidism associated with intrauterine growth restriction and heart failure. Case report: A 36 week-old newborn with birth weight of 1,240 g. Symptoms were tachycardia, distal coldness, exophthalmos, hepatomegaly and tremors. Echocardiogram ruled out structural heart disorders. Due to maternal symptoms suggestive of hyperthyroidism, TSH tests were performed showing 0.01 ulU/ml, free T4 7.7 ng/dl, so the diagnosis of neonatal hyperthyroidism was confirmed. It was treated with methimazole and propanol, alleviating the symptoms and decreasing the levels of free T4. Conclusions: To know the maternal history helps identify and manage neonatal complications of hyperthyroidism. Heart failure and other cardiopulmonary disorders are determinants of mortality during early neonatal period. High-risk newborns should receive follow up assessments.

Fundamento: O hipertireoidismo (Hi) exerce um amplo leque de influências em diversos parâmetros fisiológicos. Seu efeito perturbador sobre o sistema cardiovascular é um de seus impactos mais importantes. Além disso, o Hi foi clinicamente associado com o estresse induzido pela hiperativação do eixo hipotalâmico-pituitário-adrenal. Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto do Hi de curto prazo sobre o desempenho cardíaco e a atividade adrenal de ratos. Métodos: A indução de Hi em ratos Wistar através de injeções de T3 (150 μg/kg) por 10 dias (grupo com hipertireoidismo - GH) ou veículo (grupo controle). O desempenho cardiovascular foi avaliado por: ecocardiograma (ECO); razão peso do coração/peso corporal (mg/gr); contratilidade de músculos papilares isolados (MPI) e mensuração direta da pressão arterial. A atividade adrenal foi avaliada pela razão peso adrenal/ peso corporal (mg/gr) e níveis de 24 horas de corticosterona fecal (CF) no 1º, 5º e 10º dias de tratamento com T3. Resultados: No GH, o ECO mostrou redução dos Volumes Finais Sistólico e Diastólico, Tempos de Ejeção, Relaxamento Isovolumétrico e Diastólico Total, Áreas Sistólicas e Diastólica e razão E/A. Aumentaram a frequência cardíaca, a fração de ejeção e o débito cardíaco. A razão peso corporal/peso do coração foi maior. Da mesma forma, nos MPI, a taxa máxima de degradação da força durante o relaxamento foi maior em todas as concentrações extracelulares de cálcio. Os níveis de pressão arterial sistólica (PAS) foram maiores. (p ≤ 0,05). Por outro lado, não houve diferença na razão peso das adrenais/peso corporal ou níveis de 24 horas de CF. ...
Background: Hyperthyroidism (Hy) exerts a broad range of influences on a variety of physiological parameters. Its disruptive effect on cardiovascular system is one of its most remarkable impacts. Moreover, Hy has been clinically associated with stress - induced hyperactivation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Objective: Evaluate the impact of short-term Hy on cardiac performance and adrenal activity of rats. Methods: Induction of Hy in Wistar rats through injections of T3 (150 µg/kg) for 10 days (hyperthyroid group - HG) or vehicle (control group). The cardiovascular performance was evaluated by: echocardiography (ECHO); heart weight/body weight (mg/gr) ratio; contractility of isolated papillary muscles (IPM) and direct measurement of blood pressures. Adrenal activity was evaluated by adrenal weight/body weight (mg/gr) ratio and 24-hour fecal corticosterone (FC) levels on the, 5th and 10th days of T3 treatment. Results: In HG, the ECHO showed reduction of the End Systolic and End Diastolic Volumes, Ejection, Total Diastolic and Isovolumic Relaxation Times, Diastolic and Systolic Areas and E/A ratio. Heart Rate, Ejection Fraction and Cardiac Output increased. The heart weight/body weight ratio was higher. Similarly, in IPM, the maximum rate of force decay during relaxation was higher in all extracellular calcium concentrations. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) levels were higher. (p ≤ 0.05). On the other hand, there was no difference in the adrenal weight/body weight ratio or in the 24-hour FC levels. Conclusions: Hy induces positive inotropic, chronotropic and lusitropic effects on the heart by direct effects of T3 and increases SBP. Those alterations are not correlated with changes in the adrenal activity. .

We report a previously healthy 43 years old male, that one year ago presented with a hyperthyroidism, treated with metimazole and radioiodine. Two months after receiving the latter, he was admitted to the hospital for dyspnea, tachycardia and chest pain. An atrial fibrillation with a frequency of 190 beats per minute was found. During hospital stay, the patient suffered a cardiogenic shock that recovered. The patient was discharged five days after admission. During follow up, there was a progressive reduction of cardiac symptoms.
