Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 48 años de edad con diagnóstico de hipertensión pulmonar e hipertiroidismo (enfermedad de Graves) en la que se objetivó la normaliza-ción de las cifras de presión en la arteria pulmonar tras el tratamiento de su enfermedad tiroidea. Los posibles meca-nismos etiopatogénicos involucrados en esta asociación in-cluirían la presencia de un fallo cardíaco hiperdinámico y/o la existencia de una alteración de la inmunidad subyacente y común a ambos

We report the case of a 48-year-old woman with a diagno-sis of pulmonary hypertension and hyperthyroidism (Gra-ves' disease) in whom pulmonary artery pressures became normal after treatment of thyroid disease. The possible pat-hogenic mechanisms involved in this association include the presence of hyperdynamic heart failure and/or the presence of immune alterations underlying both conditions
