title: Gadolinium as an alternative contrast agent during cardiac catheterization in patient with iodine-induced hyperthyroidism.
abstract: We report the first case of a male patient with iodine-induced hyperthyroidism and unstable angina pectoris in whom a diagnostic cardiac catheterization with gadolinium as contrast agent was chosen. The patient was hospitalized with an iodine-induced hyperthyroidism after angioplasty using an iodinated contrast agent. He presented with a continuous arrhythmia and unstable angina pectoris. A repeated cardiac catheterization using iodinated contrast agent was contraindicated. This case report shows that gadolinium is a useful alternative contrast agent for cardiac intervention in patients with iodine-induced hyperthyroidism.
