Radioiodine is better than surgery because throat surgery on a cat can be rather delicate and it's just easier to nuke the thing and be done with it. The only downside is you'll be without your cat for a couple weeks.

I am not a vet but from what I understand, once the hyperthyroidism is treated, most of the changes to the heart resolve once the thyroid levels are back to normal and no permanent damage is seen. So get that thyroid under control so you can nuke it and everything will be fine. My cat is going to have it done too. Good luck.
