Abstract

INTRODUCTION


Cardiac manifestations of hypothyroidism are pericardial effusion, increased left ventricular dimension with left ventricular dysfunction, wall motion abnor­mality, asymmetric septal hypertrophy and mitral valve prolapse. Pericardial effusion occurs in 30-37% of cases and is mild to moderate but is occasionally large and cardiac tamponade is rare1. We describe a case of hypothyroidism secondary to Sheehan’s syndrome who presented with signs and symptoms of cardiac tam­ponade.
