Major adverse cardiac events in patients with amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis undergoing thyroidectomy: a multicenter study

Puntos clave

• To evaluate the long-term cardiovascular risk in patients with amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis undergoing thyroidectomy based on their LVEF levels.
• Multicenter cohort study
• Assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) pre and post thyroidectomy
• Comparison of outcomes based on LVEF thresholds (<40% vs. ≥40%)
• Patients with LVEF <40% showed high long-term cardiovascular risk despite thyroidectomy.
• LVEF assessment post-operatively may help identify patients at heightened risk.
• Patients with LVEF ≥40% demonstrated a favorable prognosis.
