    Abstract Background: Suppression of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) below the normal range with administration of L-thyroxine has been shown to improve survival in patients treated for thyroid cancer (TC). Although most TC patients require long-term TSH suppression therapy, the effect of this treatment on cardiac rhythm remains unknown. A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in TC patients on TSH suppressive therapy.
    Methods: All TC patients seen between June 2009 and March 2010 through a multidisciplinary thyroid oncology clinic, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, for whom TSH suppressive therapy had previously been recommended, were recruited into the study. Each patient underwent an electrocardiogram and filled out a questionnaire relevant to causes, signs/symptoms of AF and/or its complications. The prevalence of AF in this population then was compared against the published prevalence of AF in general populations.
    Results: A total of 351 patients were seen in the thyroid clinic of which 136 patients met the inclusion criteria for the study. The mean age was 52 years, 85% were female, and mean follow-up duration prior to recruitment was 11 years. The mean TSH was 0.17 mIU/L (Normal: 0.35 - 5.5 mIU/L). There were 14 patients found to have AF (two patients had long-standing persistent AF and 12 patients had paroxysmal AF). The mean ages of patients with and without AF were 61.6 years and 51.4 years, respectively (P = 0.01). Prevalence of AF in the study group was 10.3%; the rate of AF in the TC patients aged 60 years and over (17.5%) was higher than the rate of AF in published data in people 60 years and over (P < 0.001). AF was diagnosed after the initiation of the TSH suppression therapy in all except one patient.
    Conclusion: TSH suppression in thyroid cancer is associated with a high prevalence of AF, particularly in older individuals.
