Abstract EN
Thyrotoxicosis complicated by advance degree atrioventricular block, a rare complication of a common disease.
The term apathetic thyrotoxicosis, where palpitations and cardiac involvement are the sole manifestations of disease, is well known.
Thyroxin's ability to sensitize the catecholamine receptors causing tachyarrhythmias is well addressed.
