[Hypothyroidism state with psychomotor agitation and fast atrial fibrillation: a rare form of presentation].
Schizoid psychosis and atrial fibrillation are two rare signs of hypothyroidism which may suggest the opposite condition, hyperthyroidism, with the associated risk of adopting a wrong therapeutical approach. Recently, we have treated a patient in which those two mentioned circumstances were present. In this paper, we review psychiatric signs and electrocardiographic disorders associated to hypothyroidism.
