A case report of acute myopericarditis associated with Graves' thyrotoxicosis.

Acute myopericarditis is a common diagnosis in young patients presenting with symptoms of chest pain with elevated troponin and is frequently related to a viral illness. Hyperthyroid states are also associated with acute myopericarditis and should be particularly considered in patients with a pre-existing thyroid condition or in those with symptoms suggestive of hyperthyroidism. Given the specific treatments required in a case of myopericarditis associated with hyperthyroidism, it is important to be aware of this association and consider screening where appropriate.
