Therefore, cardioselective beta blockers may be favourable. Corticosteroids
High levels of thyroid hormone result in a hypermetabolic state, which can result in increased breakdown of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal gland. This results in a state of relative adrenal insufficiency, in which the amount of cortisol is not sufficient. Guidelines recommend that corticosteroids (hydrocortisone and dexamethasone are preferred over prednisolone or methylprednisolone) be administered to all patients with thyroid storm. However, doses should be altered for each individual patient to ensure that the relative adrenal insufficiency is adequately treated while minimizing the risk of side effects. Plasmapheresis
Plasmapheresis removes cytokines, antibodies, and thyroid hormones from the plasma. It is usually reserved for severe refractory cases of thyroid storm as a bridge to surgery. See also

Myocardial fibrosis has mainly two forms:

Interstitial fibrosis, which has been described in congestive heart failure, hypertension, and normal aging. Replacement fibrosis, which indicates an older myocardial infarction. Other
Arterial stiffness
Arthrofibrosis (knee, shoulder, other joints)
Chronic kidney disease
Crohns disease (intestine)
Dupuytrens contracture (hands, fingers)
Keloid (skin)
Mediastinal fibrosis (soft tissue of the mediastinum)
Myelofibrosis (bone marrow)
Peyronies disease (penis)
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (skin)
Progressive massive fibrosis (lungs); a complication of coal workers pneumoconiosis
Retroperitoneal fibrosis (soft tissue of the retroperitoneum)
