title: Incessant ventricular tachycardia due to subacute thyroiditis.
abstract: Subacute thyroiditis is a possibly viral, inflammatory thyroid disorder which can cause thyrotoxicosis. Ventricular arrhythmias are uncommon in thyrotoxicosis and usually occur only in those with marked heart failure or associated cardiac disease. In this case, we present a 52-year-old woman having incessant ventricular tachycardia due to subacute thyroiditis without underlying cardiac disease.
