title: A rare case of amiodarone-induced hypothyroidism presenting with cardiac tamponade.
abstract: Subclinical pericardial effusions are common in patients with untreated hypothyroidism and usually resolve with thyroid replacement therapy, but cardiac tamponade is a rare presentation of prolonged untreated hypothyroidism. We report the first case of cardiac tamponade due to hypothyroidism produced by administration of amiodarone.
