Abstract

This brief report presents a patient with isolated right heart failure and two rare underlying causes, hyperthyroidism and dysplastic tricuspid valve. Repair of the tricuspid valve and treatment of the hyperthyroidism were both essential for successful treatment of the right heart failure. Most important, recrudescence of hyperthyroidism in this patient was associated with reappearance of florid right heart failure. This report provides further information about a potential linkage of hyperthyroidism and severe right heart failure.

摘要

本简短报告介绍了一名患有单纯性右心衰竭且有两个罕见潜在病因（甲状腺功能亢进和发育异常的三尖瓣）的患者。修复三尖瓣和治疗甲状腺功能亢进对于成功治疗右心衰竭均至关重要。最重要的是，该患者甲状腺功能亢进的复发与明显的右心衰竭再次出现有关。本报告提供了有关甲状腺功能亢进与严重右心衰竭潜在联系的更多信息。
