Which outcome results from hyperthyroidism induced tachycardia via excessive hormone-receptor binding?

💡 Explanation

Hyperthyroidism causes increased thyroid hormone leading to excessive hormone binding to receptors in the heart, therefore increasing cardiac inotropy and chronotropy via heightened beta-adrenergic signaling, rather than decreasing contractility. Diminished cardiac reserve requires long pathologies.
