title: [Severe tricuspid insufficiency as main manifestation of hyperthyroidism].
abstract: The cardiac manifestations of the hyperthyroidism (HT) are diverse and frequent. However, sometimes, the initial symptoms are atypical and are difficult to diagnose. We present the case of a patient whose HT began with heart failure secondary to a severe tricuspid regurgitation (IT). This data suggests that when confronted with IT of unclear etiology, a possible HT must be investigated.
