Severe tricuspid regurgitation and isolated right heart failure due to thyrotoxicosis

We describe the case of a patient presented with isolated right heart failure with atrial fibrillation and severe tricuspid regurgitation due to hyperthyroidism. Treatment of the thyroid disease resulted in the disappearance of signs of right heart failure and resolution of the valve incompetence and normalization of the heart rhythm. Although thyrotoxicosis may be associated with congestive heart failure, isolated right heart failure with marked tricuspid regurgitation is rarely seen.
