In one of our previous articles we noted that many patients affected by atrial fibrillation had more thyroid nodules > or = 10mm (38%) than general population (10%). These data are confirmed by a same number of patients without atrial fibrillation admitted to our Department of Internal Medicine. The high incidence of low-T3 syndrome is confirmed too.
