Thyrotoxicosis is underdiagnosed because of its low occurrence in series from Africa. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency, the demographic data, and the etiological aspects of thyrotoxicosis among hyperthyroidy. Thirty-six patients with thyrotoxicosis (group I) gathered during a period of four years was analysed, as well as 180 hyperthyroidy cases (group II). Cardiothyrotoxicosis was observed with a frequency of 16.6%. The mean age was respectively of 44.5+/-13.3 versus 32.8+/-11.4 years (p<10(-6)). Cardiothyrotoxicosis was related to multinodular goitres (18 cases), a Basedow disease (14 cases), a toxic adenoma (four cases), while the principal cause of hyperthyroidy was toxic adenoma followed by the Basedow disease (72 cases, 40%). Different modes of presentation of cardiothyrotoxicosis were found: cardiac heart failure in 27 cases (75%), permanent atrial fibrillation in 22 cases (61.1%), atrial flutter in two cases, coronary insufficiency in four cases, ventricular extrasystoli (trigeminism) in two cases, second auriculoventricular block in two cases, dilated myocardiopathy in 10 cases (27.7%), ischemic myocardiopathy in four cases, severe mitral regurgitation in one case. This study confirms the relative frequency of cardiothyrotoxicosis, the proportionally weak place of Basedow disease among hyperthyroidy's causes, and role of associated cardiac disease to the hyperthyroid.
