Although this question cannot be answered with 100% certainty, the cardiac effects of Thyrogen has been studied in 11 patients, with no adverse effects noted on EKG parameters or on cardiac function as assessed by echocardiography. See Cardiovascular Safety of Acute Recombinant Human Thyrotropin Administration to Patients Monitored for Differentiated Thyroid Cancer.J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2003 Jan 1;88(1):211-214.
