“…35,65 It has been reported that hyperthyroidism is not associated with coronary heart disease or mortality from cardiovascular causes. 66 However, it may induce arrhythmias including AF and atrial flutter. [66][67][68] The risk for AF during a 10-year follow-up period is $10% in these patients.…”

“…Subclinical hyperthyroidism is an increasingly recognized entity that is defined as a normal serum free thyroxine and free triiodothyronine levels with a TSH level suppressed below the normal range and usually undetectable [2]. It has been reported that subclinical hyperthyroidism is not associated with coronary heart disease or mortality from cardiovascular causes [3] but it is sufficient to induce arrhythmias [2] including atrial fibrillation [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] and atrial flutter [11,12]. It has also been reported that increased factor X activity in patients with subclinical hyperthyroidism represents a potential hypercoagulable state [5,13].…”

“…Subclinical hyperthyroidism is an increasingly recognized entity that is defined as a normal serum free thyroxine and free triiodothyronine levels with a thyroid-stimulating hormone level suppressed below the normal range and usually undetectable [4]. It has been reported that subclinical hyperthyroidism is not associated with coronary heart disease or mortality from cardiovascular causes [2] but that it is sufficient to induce arrhythmias [4] including atrial fibrillation [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] and atrial flutter [13,14]. Nowadays, there is growing interest regarding endogenous sublinical hyperthyroidism and the cardiovascular system [15,16].…”
