One of my colleagues has answered a question of mine regarding what iodine deficency can result in, in chronic deficient regions. This is yet another expression of thyroid function under stress.
I see a lot of patients suffering from arrhythmia due to high-T3 syndrome (e.g. resulting from iodine deficiency). These patients have normal TSH and FT4 concentration but isolated FT3 elevation, and this condition has clinical consequences. This is another understudied situation.
