Myxedema Heart on Echocardiogram
52F with weeks of shortness of breath, pedal edema and constipation.  Exam with JVD, anasarca.  ECG: SR, low QRS  volts.
K/L ratio: normal
TSH: 40, FT4 <0.1
Remember to think of myxedema heart in patients presenting with heart failure and echo which looks like amyloid heart disease.
