Prevalence of amiodarone-induced hypothyroidism; A systematic review and meta-analysis
2023, Trends in Cardiovascular MedicineCitation Excerpt :Amiodarone has adverse effects on the thyroid gland leading to hypothyroidism. These effects should be considered through two distinct mechanisms related to amiodarone iodine content or the drug characteristics [6,57]. The latter effect might be due to amiodarone interaction with the enzymes responsible for thyroid hormone metabolism, named iodothyronine deiodinases.
