Analysis of hyperthyroid heart disease by treatment with iodine-131 radioisotopes

Abstract

Objective To analyze the effect of iodine-131I in the treatment of patients with hyperthyroid heart disease(HHD).Methods The clinical materials and therapeutic effect by 131 I were reviewed in 100 patients with HDD.Results The heal rate of hyperthyroidism and HHD were 82.3％,86.5％ in treatment group,and were higher than that of the control group (69.0％ and 76.2％ ) ( x2 =3.80,3.83,P ＜ 0.05 ) ; HHD with atrial fibrillation was 65.0％,average cardioversion after 131I treatment was 74.4％ after the treatment by 131I;The LVEDD、LVESD、LVEDV and HR after 131 I treatment were lower compared with before treatment ( all P ＜ 0.05 ),SV and EF were increased ( all P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusion 131I treatment in patients with HHD,can significantly improve the efficacy of a heart disease Key words: Hyperthyroid heart disease; Iodine-131 radioisotopes; Treatment
