Abnormal Left Ventricular Function in Hyperthyroidism: Evidence for a Possible Reversible Cardiomyopathy

We assessed the effects of exercise and beta-adrenoceptor blockade on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measured by radionuclide ventriculography in nine patients with uncomplicated hyperthyroidism. Patients were studied in both the hyperthyroid and euthyroid states. The hyperthyroid state w...
