Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis
(
AIT
) is a complication of amiodarone therapy that can be difficult to diagnose and manage, especially in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We describe a 47-year-old female patient with DCM who experienced the sudden onset of type II
AIT
with symptoms mimicking low cardiac output syndrome, namely, general malaise and
nausea
. Early type II
AIT
was diagnosed, and effectively treated with prednisolone. <

Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis
(

AIT
in patients treated with amiodarone not to be late for appropriate management for it.>.
