Ventricular arrhythmias induced by hypothyroidism are infrequently reported, especially in pediatric cases. A 15-year-old girl with autoimmune hypothyroidism experienced pulseless ventricular arrhythmias on 2 separate occasions because of nonadherence to levothyroxine medication. Subsequent investigations revealed an SCN5A mutation associated with Brugada syndrome. A loop recorder captured polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PMVT), specifically Torsades de Pointes during her second event. Both arrhythmias were addressed only after stabilizing her thyroid hormone levels with replacement therapy. Although rare, patients with uncontrolled hypothyroidism may present with ventricular arrhythmias, particularly PMVT. The cornerstone of treatment for hypothyroidism-induced ventricular arrhythmia is thyroid replacement therapy. The identification of an SCN5A mutation unmasked by overt hypothyroidism emphasizes the need for a comprehensive cardiac evaluation in patients with hypothyroidism being assessed for PMVT.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1210\/jcemcr\/luae124","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,15]],"date-time":"2024-07-15T06:31:02Z","timestamp":1721025062000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A
