- Abstract: A 70-year-old woman developed sick sinus syndrome associated with thyrotoxicosis. Initial T3 was above 800ng/dl and TSH was below 0.05IU/ml. But sinus node dysfunction was resolved upon achieving a euthyroid state. This clinical course suggest that transient reversible sinus node dysfunction could be developed due to thyrotoxicosis.
