Abstract

Introduction: Pulmonary HYPERTENSION is common among patients with hyperthyroidism, and Graves’ disease constitutes the most common cause of thyrotoxicosis.Case Presentation: We report the case of a female patient admitted to the cardiology department with shortness of breath and pretibial MYXEDEMA. The diagnostic work-up revealed combined pre- and post-capillary pulmonary HYPERTENSION due to Graves’ disease superimposed on left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Restoration of thyroid function led to normalization of the pulmonary pressure and symptom resolution.Conclusions: Thyroid disease is a cause of reversible pulmonary HYPERTENSION and thus should be appropriately considered in the diagnostic algorithm in patients with DYSPNEA, clinical signs of hyperthyroidism and elevated pulmonary pressure.
