Acute myocarditis and hyperthyroidism are common diseases that often present in young, otherwise healthy patients. Autoimmunity is central to the pathogenesis of both. Patients presenting with acute myocarditis should be screened for symptoms of hyperthyroidism, and physicians should consider screening for myocarditis in patients with hyperthyroidism and persistent cardiac symptoms.
急性心肌炎和甲状腺功能亢进症是常见疾病,常发生于年轻且其他方面健康的患者。自身免疫在两者的发病机制中都起着核心作用。出现急性心肌炎的患者应筛查甲状腺功能亢进症的症状,医生也应考虑对有甲状腺功能亢进症且伴有持续性心脏症状的患者进行心肌炎筛查。
