- Abstract
In most cases, congestive heart failure (CHF) usually develops secondary to coronary artery disease or valvular heart disease. However, acute thyrotoxicosis might be an infrequent cause of CHF in some patients. In this report, we presented a case of adult patient without a previous diagnosis of chronic disorder, who was admitted to the emergency department with CHF and newly developed atrial fibrillation. In addition, in this case, we reported that acute thyrotoxicosis could cause severe but reversible LV dysfunction in relatively young individuals.
