Abstract
We report a case of thyroid cardiomyopathy from an iodine overload in a patient admitted for a cerebrovascular accident. The diagnosis was s uggested by a hyperkinetic circulatory status and confirmed by the inc reased circulating thyroid hormone concentrations. Treatment improved the haemodynamic status, however the patient died from a cerebral hern iation.
