Sub-acute Thyroiditis and Myocardial Damage | Insight Medical Publishing

Chest pain is associated with electrocardiographic ST-T changes and elevated levels of myocardial damage markers and may be induced by acute coronary syndrome, myocarditis, stress cardiomyopathy, acute pericarditis, pulmonary embolism, and cerebrocardiac syndrome. Few studies have evaluated chest pain accompanied by electrocardiographic ST-T changes and elevated myocardial damage markers during sub-acute thyroiditis. We herein describe a 19-year-old man with sub-acute thyroiditis combined with myocardial damage and explore the mechanism of this condition.
