What happens to someone with graves who has a heart attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complicate matters: If you have thyrotoxicosis (hyperactivity of thyroid) from graves disease it can complicate a heart attack by worsening angina and increasing the heart rate and arrhythmias. It has to be immediately counteracted by large dose of beta blockers and medications to control your thyroid including steroids.
