Recurrent peri‐myocarditis: A rarer but unfortunate redundant presentation of thyroid storm

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Thyroid storm represents a critical and life‐threatening complication from hyperthyroidism, with a notable mortality risk. Limited literature reports have explored the correlation between thyroid storm and peri‐myocarditis, although the precise pathophysiological underpinnings remain unclear. The pathophysiology of how thyroid storm and peri‐myocarditis are associated is not clearly understood; however, unfavorable prognostic factors include atrial fibrillation and recurrent thyrotoxicosis. Here, we present a case concerning recurrent peri‐myocarditis concomitant with a thyroid storm.
