How does an overactive thyroid affect the heart?

0

An untreated overactive thyroid increases the rate at which the heart beats causing it extra stress and work. You may notice a faster heart rate and could experience irregular heartbeats, which are referred to as atrial fibrillation. This may be present all the time and may be especially noticed in elderly patients.
