Clinical Laboratory Features of Amiodarone-Induced Thyropathy in Patients with Cardiac Rhythm Disorders

The article provides an assessment of the prevalence of amiodarone-induced thyropathy in patients with cardiac rhythm disorders. It has been established that among patients with rhythm and conductivity disorders the detection of amiodarone-induced hypothyroidism is twice as high as that of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis. There are no gender differences in the detection and changes of laboratory parameters in amiodarone-induced thyropathy.
