title: [The cardiac manifestations in hyperthyroidism. The surgical implications].
abstract: In a statistics including 954 patients with hyperthyroidism [correction of Huprotoncoses] treated between 1966-1989, the authors found 522 cases (54) with various associated cardiac disorders. Of these cases, 199 presented rhythm disturbances: extrasystolic arrhythmia, auricular fibrillation and flutter to which 34 postoperative arrhythmias are added. Cardiac insufficiency present in 46 cases was the main complication and end point of the various myocardial conditions. Ischemic cardiopathy (181 cases), arterial hypertension (98 cases) and rheumatic valvulopathies (9 cases), either isolated or dominating the clinical picture, complete the nosological spectrum of these disturbances. The frequency of associated conditions and the absence of some specific morphologic lesions suggest that thyrotoxicosis is rather an aggravating factor although in many cases the presence of a previous cardiac disease is excluded. The two objectives in the management of thyrocardiac diseases are the amelioration of cardiac condition and an endocrine balance. In the conditions of a careful selection and preoperative preparation, surgery gave good results consisting, in this series, in over 70% cures and ameliorations.
