Background: Atrial fibrillation occurs in 5–15% of hyperthyroid patients. On the other hand, amiodarone is a highly effective antiarrhythmic agent. Despite antiarrhythmic treatment, iodine-induced hyperthyroidism via amiodarone may be associated with recurrence of initial arrhythmias.Aims: To assess if amiodarone maintained it’s antiarrhythmic efficacy in the presence of amiodarone-induced hyperthyroidism (AIT).Patients a...

This is, at least in part, due to an increase in resting energy expenditure (Perlemoine et al., Br J Nutrition 2005; 93). As SNBS electrodes are located close to the hypothalamic centre regulating food intake, we investigated whether ghrelin levels would vary with SNBS and/or L-DOPA tr...
