TRIPLE TROUBLE – HYPERTHYROIDISM, UNCONTROLLED AMIODARONE TREATMENT, CARDIOTOXIC ONCOLOGY DRUG TREATMENT – SINGLE OUTCOME: SUSTAINED VENTRICULAR TACHYCADIA AND HEART FAILURE

Abstract

We present a clinical case showing cardiac pathology contributed by three different pathologic noxes (hyperthyroidism, uncontrolled amiodarone treatment, cardiotoxic oncological drug treatment). These subjects eventually amplified together led to development of acute congestive heart failure and induction of sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. In medical practice, sometimes medications that have been prescribed may carry a risk of cardiotoxicity. Therefore, we want to show the importance of cardiac follow-up in this type of patients. The correct and multidisciplinary clinical thinking helped to master the clinical manifestations and the positive outcome of the created situation.
