Abstract

We present the case of a patient with atrial flutter (treated with cryoablation) and amiodarone-induced hypothyroidism (AIH). Administration of l-tyroxine supplementation triggered recurrence of arrhythmia. The report shows how difficult can be treating a patient with AIH and how important is cooperation between cardiologist and endocrinologist.
