Answer:

thyroid storm

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a life-threatening condition characterized by severe clinical manifestations of thyrotoxicosis. Extreme hyperthyroidism can lead to heart failure, a condition called throtoxicosis.Over-secretion of thyroxine is often due to the presence of plasma proteins that stimulate thyroid activity, i.e., defective enzymatic reactions.Thyroid storm can lead to osteoporosis, heart failure and atrial fibrillation.
