Amiodarone Induced Thyroid Dysfunction In a Patient Who Underwent Aortic and Mitral Valve Replacement: Case Report

Abstract

Amiodarone is well recognized benzofuranic-derivative as an anti-arrhythmic drug containing a high dose of iodine with considerable potential to cause thyroid dysfunction. Amiodarone is often used to treat both ventricular and atrial arrhythmias. Its cardiac side effects are less frequent than those associated with other antiarrhythmics. It has potentially marked effects on thyroid physiology. The present patient was a 66-year-old woman who developed thyroid dysfunction and was given amiodarone as an anti-arrhythmic agent for cardiac arrhythmia after open heart surgery.
