EC CARDIOLOGY Case Report Thyroid Hormone Disturbance and Atrioventricular Block: Correlation with Cardiogenic Syncope in Young Adult
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report shows that thyroid hormone disturbance has a significant role in the development of cardiovascular sign and symptom in the thyroid patients. And those Cardiac conduction disturbances, namely atrial fibrillation and atrioventricular block, have a role with cardiogenic syncope in non-epileptic patient. We report a patient with hypothyroidism diagnosed with atrioventricular block who developed syncope during sleep.

Cardiac Rhabdomyomas and Congenital Hypothyroidism: A Coincidence or Hamartia
Cardiac rhabdomyomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors in children. These tumors are generally asymptomatic, although they may be associated with neonatal tuberous sclerosis complex. Despite the fact that thyroid dysfunction rarely occurs in tuberous sclerosis, papillary adenomas (hamartomas) of the thyroid gland have been reported in a number of autopsies. Herein, we present the case ...
متن کاملPrinzmetal's variant angina associated with severe heart rhythm disturbances and syncope: a therapeutic dilemma.
Prinzmetal's angina is a distinct syndrome characterized by episodes of chest pain and transient ST-segment elevation caused by coronary vasospasm. This variant form of angina is sometimes associated with complete atrioventricular block and ventricular arrhythmias. We report here a case of variant angina with documented severe heart rhythm disturbances and syncope in a 66 year-old woman. Due to...
متن کاملRecurrent Syncope Episodes and Exercise Intolerance in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Combined with Atrioventricular Conduction Disturbance
A 30-year-old female patient with known hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP) was admitted for recurrent syncope episodes. Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed 2 : 1 atrioventricular (AV) block. Stress echocardiography with bicycle showed high grade AV block at high stage of the exercise associated with exercise intolerance and dyspnea. Twenty-four hour ECG monitoring also revealed high grade AV block a...
متن کاملComplete Heart Block in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Rare Association.
Ventricular tachyarrhythmias are common in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that may lead to syncope and sudden death. Bradyarrhythmia such as atrioventricular conduction disturbance, a relatively rare complication associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, may also cause syncope and sudden death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We report a 28-year old man who was diagnosed as a case of hypertrophi...
متن کاملClinical commentary Unrecognized paroxysmal ventricular standstill masquerading as epilepsy: a Stokes-Adams attack
Recognition of cardiac syncope masquerading as epilepsy may be difficult in the Emergency Department. We report a middle-aged man with recent onset convulsions who posed a diagnostic puzzle before it was found that he had paroxysmal ventricular standstill with complete atrioventricular block: he made a complete recovery after temporary pacemaker insertion. The main lessons from this case were (...
