Abstract :
Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism has been associated with significant changes in cardiovascular hemodynamics. We report a case of a
39-year-old male who has been recently diagnosed with severe hyperthyroidism. He was undergoing dobutamine stress
echocardiography (DSE) for evaluation of symptoms suggestive of stable angina. The exam was complicated by ST-segment
elevation myocardial infarction- (STEMI-) required coronary angiography that showed mild coronary artery disease.
