Abstract EN
Amiodarone-induced thryrotoxicosis (AIT) is a rare but serious complication of amiodarone use, especially in patients with severe cardiac disease.
We present a patient who developed AIT, following administration of amiodarone for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
We discuss the medical management of AIT and anesthetic considerations for management of patients with thyrotoxicosis and severe cardiac disease who require surgery including thyroidectomy.
