We describe a 54-year-old woman with isolated pulmonary arterial hypertension accompanied by hyperthyroidism due to Graves' disease. Her pulmonary artery hypertension resolved spontaneously after restoration of euthyroidism. This case suggests that hyperthyroidism should be considered a reversible cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
我们描述了一例 54 岁女性,患有孤立性肺动脉高压伴 Graves 病引起的甲状腺功能亢进症。她的肺动脉高压在甲状腺功能恢复正常后自行缓解。该病例提示甲状腺功能亢进症应被视为肺动脉高压的一个可逆转病因。
