[Acute pulmonary edema as a first manifestation of hyperthyroidism in a pregnant woman. Report of one case].
    Revista medica de Chile, 2008, Volume: 136, Issue:3

    We report a 36 year-old pregnant woman who presented with acute pulmonary edema in the absence of preexisting cardiac disease. On admission she was on sinus rhythm and her blood pressure was mildly elevated. No cardiac abnormalities were detected by color Doppler echocardiography and no ischemic changes were seen on the electrocardiogram. Cardiac enzymes were normal. Thyroid function tests were diagnostic for hyperthyroidism. She was treated with propylthiouracil and propranolol and discharged in good conditions seven days after admission. This case emphasizes the need to consider hyperthyroidism as the cause of unexplained pulmonary edema in young patients with no history of heart disease who present with heart failure.

Acute myocardial infarction and thyrotoxic storm--a difficult and dangerous combination.
    Acta anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 2005, Volume: 49, Issue:5

    We describe an unusual case of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and cardiogenic shock in a 25-year-old woman. After coronary revascularization, a thyrotoxic storm developed and the patient's cardiac failure changed into a hyperdynamic circulation without obvious changes in the patient's vital signs. This report will focus on three issues: (1) the benefit of advanced hemodynamic monitoring in circulatory unstable patients, (2) the confounding effects of untreated hyperthyroidism on the circulation, and (3) previous cancer treatment as a cause of AMI in young persons.

Cardiovascular manifestations of thyroid storm: a case report.
    The Journal of emergency medicine, 2003, Volume: 25, Issue:1

    We present a case of thyroid storm manifesting as supraventricular tachycardia with cardiopulmonary dysfunction. Our patient presented with severe cardiopulmonary symptoms (tachycardia, respiratory distress, and pulmonary edema) refractory to standard medical treatment. When the diagnosis of thyroid storm was made and proper treatment initiated, our patient had a prompt and appropriate response.
