Treatment Modality and Risk of Heart Failure in Patients With Long-Standing Graves ’ Disease: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study

ConclusionsIn patients with long-standing hyperthyroidism treated with conventional duration of ATD therapy, the risk of HF was attenuated by RIA with remission of hyperthyroidism and increased as ATD was required for longer duration. To reduce the risk of HF, resolution of hyperthyroidism with RIA should be considered in patients with long-standing Graves’ disease.
