With the increasing incidence of coronary artery disease and the aging population, the prevalence of congestive heart failure (CHF) is increasing. In the majority of these cases the etiology is underlying coronary artery disease. Other less common causes of CHF include valvular heart disease, hypertension, alcoholic cardiomyopathy, and dilated cardiomyopathy. In addition, there are rare causes, one of which is hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism can affect the cardiovascular system in a variety of ways. The cardiovascular manifestations range from sinus tachycardia to atrial fibrillation and from a high cardiac output state to CHF due to systolic left ventricular dysfunction. If the underlying hyperthyroidism is recognized and treated early the CHF in such cases can be cured. The authors present three cases of CHF due to systolic left ventricular dysfunction secondary to hyperthyroidism, which showed considerable improvement in the left ventricular function once the hyperthyroidism was treated.
随着冠状动脉疾病发病率的上升以及人口老龄化,充血性心力衰竭(CHF)的患病率正在增加。在大多数此类病例中,病因是潜在的冠状动脉疾病。CHF的其他较不常见病因包括瓣膜性心脏病、高血压、酒精性心肌病和扩张型心肌病。此外,还有一些罕见病因,其中之一是甲状腺功能亢进症。甲状腺功能亢进症可通过多种方式影响心血管系统。心血管表现范围从窦性心动过速到心房颤动,以及从高心输出量状态到由于左心室收缩功能障碍导致的CHF。如果潜在的甲状腺功能亢进症能够早期得到识别和治疗,此类病例中的CHF是可以治愈的。作者介绍了三例因甲状腺功能亢进症继发左心室收缩功能障碍导致的CHF病例,这些病例在甲状腺功能亢进症得到治疗后左心室功能有了显著改善。
