The cardiovascular system in patients with diffuse toxic goiter
Keyword(s):
The lesion of the cardiovascular system is a frequent and serious complication of diffuse toxic goiter, which often comes to the fore in the clinical picture and determines the course and outcome of the disease. To refer to this lesion, R. Kraus introduced the term “thyrotoxic heart” in 1899, and now it refers to the symptom complex of disorders of the cardiovascular system caused by the toxic effects of excess thyroid hormones and characterized by the development of hyperfunction, hypertrophy, dystrophy, cardiosclerosis and heart failure.
