In Hyperthyroidism excess thyroid hormone speeds up metabolism & stimulates increased bone turnover & consequently increases the risk of bone fracture. Risk of fracture increases significantly with years from diagnosis if hyperthyroidism remains untreated. (Thyroid 2003)

Secondly in hyperthyroidism a number of cardiac parameters are altered. The cardiovascular system is particularly sensitive to thyroid hormone. Excess thyroid hormone increases heart contractility, resting heart rate, frequency of contractions & cardic ouput along with decreased vascular resistance. This in turn increases the risk of arrhythmias. (Eur J. of Intern Med 2006)
