Concurrent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism associated with hyperthyroidism: a case report

We report a case of a 43-year-old woman with long-term uncontrolled hyperthyroidism complicated by venous thromboembolism. The potential mechanisms could be endothelial dysfunction, decreased fibrinolytic activity, and increased levels of coagulation factors. Thyroid evaluation should be recommended in patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolic events.PMID:34744284 | PMC:PMC8564842 | DOI:10.20471/acc.2021.60.02.20
