Major adverse cardiac events in patients with amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis undergoing thyroidectomy: a multicenter study

Key Points

To evaluate the long-term cardiovascular risk in patients with amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis undergoing thyroidectomy based on their LVEF levels.
Multicenter cohort study
Assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) pre and post thyroidectomy
Comparison of outcomes based on LVEF thresholds (<40% vs. ≥40%)
Patients with LVEF <40% showed high long-term cardiovascular risk despite thyroidectomy.
LVEF assessment post-operatively may help identify patients at heightened risk.
Patients with LVEF ≥40% demonstrated a favorable prognosis.

Abstract

Patients with LVEF <40% carries a high long-term CV risk despite early thyroidectomy. Post-operative LVEF assessment may help identify high-risk patients. In contrast, those with LVEF ≥40% have a favorable prognosis.
