Primary Myxedema Heart Disease

Abstract

A case of primary myxedema heart disease in an 84-year-old man is presented. His history and physical examination were typical of myxedema. Electrocardiographic changes showing generalized low voltage, nonspecific S-T segment and T-wave changes, and nodal rhythm are characteristic of the disease. The patient showed remarkable improvement after oral liothyronine (Cytomel) therapy.

Interesting Flatfeet, My gp usually says not to have too much T3 because it can affect the heart. He also told me a few months ago that my chest xray showed a slightly enlarged heart,but it was nothing to worry about. ??????

T3 obviously can affect the heart . . . in a good way

The book is about research done in Italy when Cardiologists and Endos came together for the first time. You can browse the contents of the book. Liothyronine - T3 - seems the star of the show

That looks a really good read Marz, I will read the extracts. I really wish I could afford to buy it.

Me too - have had it on file for a couple of years. It was posted here - but sadly I have forgotten who - one of the regulars Some of the research is on PubMed....
