Popis: The management of thyroid disease is usually straightforward. However, the presence of heart failure, whether due to primary thyroid disease or not, presents challenges to both diagnosis and management. Effective care requires an understanding of non-thyroidal illness and the effect of drugs on thyroid hormone metabolism, and a willingness to adapt treatment to the individual patient rather than adhering slavishly to guidelines.
