Abstract

Although cardiovascular manifestations of thyroid disorders are frequently encountered in clinical practise, atrioventricular (AV) conduction disorders especially in hyperthyroidism are rare. There are some proposed mechanisms for AV blocks in hyperthyroidism but the exact mechanism is stili unknown. in this paper, we report our nine cases with thyroid function disorders and complete AV block and their progress and requirements for permanent pacemakers and revievv and speculate on the reported cases with AV blocks and hyperthyroidism. Since negative dromotropic drugs are commonly prescribed in clinical practise for patients with hyperthyroidism, the physician should know the rare association between AV blocks and hyperthyroidism. in this paper, we aimed to imply on the association between AV block and thyroid dysfunction. in some cases, there is no underlying disorder except for thyroid dysfunction to explain the development of AV block. But sometimes thyroid dysfunction may aggravate the underlying conduction disorder and cause AV block. AV block may be resolved with the treatment of thyroid dysfunction whether there is an underlying heart disease ör not, but if there is a significant underlying heart disease the pacemaker requirement would be also high.

Özet

Tiroid bozukluklarının kardiyovasküler bulgularına klinikte sıklıkla karşılaşılmasma karşın özellikle hipertiroidili olgularda atrioventriküler (AV) ileti sistemi bozuklukları nadirdir. Hipertiroidizmde AV blok gelişimi için bazı mekanizmalar öne sürülmüştür fakat kesin mekanizma halen bilinememektedir. Bu yazıda tiroid fonksiyon bozukluğu ve AV tam blok saptanan dokuz hastanın özellikleri, klinik seyirleri, pacemaker ihtiyaçları belirtilmiş, literatürde bildirilen olgular derlenerek tartışılmıştır. Hipertiroidili hastalara klinikte sıklıkla negatif dromotropik ilaçlar kullanıldığı için AV blok ve hipertiroidizm birlikteliği bilinmelidir. Bu yazıda amaçlanan tiroid bozuklukları ve AV tam blok birlikteliğinin vurgulanmasıdır. Bazı olgularda tiroid bozukluğu dışında AV bloğu açıklayabilecek bozukluğa rastlanmazken bazen tiroid bozuklukları altta yatan ileti defektini artırarak AV bloğa yol açabilmektedir. Altta yatan kalp hastalığı olsun veya olmasın tiroid bozukluğunun tedavisi ile AV blok düzelebilmektedir ancak altta önemli bir kalp hastalığı mevcutsa kalıcı kalp pili ihtiyacı artmaktadır.
