Description
John Chen and Ling Ling Cheng present a case study on a heart drug and the thyroid gland. The drug, amiodarone, treats fast heart rhythms but can harm the thyroid. Their case, from twenty twenty-three, concerns an eighty-one-year-old woman in long-term care. She also had dementia, a past stroke, and a heart attack.
The woman came in with a fast heart rhythm and was calmed with the drug. Her thyroid test then rose far above the normal range. Doctors slowly raised a thyroid drug and cut back the heart drug. Heart and thyroid teams gave advice by video, and her test score fell toward normal.
