Key result
Poorly controlled hyperthyroidism can manifest as unstable angina and pulmonary edema despite normal coronaries.
Why the study?
Cardiac ischaemia associated with hyperthyroidism in the presence of normal coronary arteries is a known association, but new manifestations require reporting.
Case Report (n=1)
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
We report on a 40 year old woman who presented with typical unstable angina pectoris associated with pulmonary oedema, due to poorly controlled hyperthyroidism. No cardiac abnormality was detected by echo-Doppler and nuclear ventriculography. Coronary angiography demonstrated normal coronary arteries. This case represents a new manifestation of the known association of cardiac ischaemia with hyperthyroidism in the presence of normal coronary arteries.

Glikson et al. (1991) conducted a case report in Unstable angina pectoris and pulmonary oedema due to hyperthyroidism (n=1). Poorly controlled hyperthyroidism was evaluated on Cardiac ischaemia and pulmonary oedema with normal coronary arteries. Poorly controlled hyperthyroidism can manifest as unstable angina pectoris and pulmonary oedema in the presence of angiographically normal coronary arteries.
