Abstract
Thyrotoxicosis is a systemic condition caused by the effects of elevated levels of thyroid hormones. The cardiovascular manifestations of thyrotoxicosis range from sinus tachycardia and atrial fibrillation to heart failure. The incidence of malignant arrhythmias and cardiac arrest associated with thyrotoxicosis is not well known, and much of the current literature regarding this is limited to case reports. This study conducts a systematic review of the literature to identify patient demographics and outcomes where thyrotoxicosis manifests as cardiac arrest.
