INTRODUCTION  Thyroid hormone deficiency can lead to the impairment of cardiac function. OBJECTIVES  The aim of the study was to determine the left atrial (LA) mechanical function in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (SHT) and overt hypothyroidism (OHT) and investigate associations of LA mechanical function with diastolic function.  PATIENTS AND METHODS  Twenty‑six patients with newl...

CONTEXT Earlier, we have shown an increased prevalence of previously diagnosed hypothyroidism in common bile duct (CBD) stone patients and a delayed emptying of the biliary tract in hypothyroidism, explained partly by the missing prorelaxing effect of T(4) on the sphincter of Oddi contractility. OBJECTIVE In this study, the prevalence of previously undiagnosed subclinical hypothyroidism in CB...

CONTEXT Previous studies have suggested that subclinical abnormalities in thyroid-stimulating hormone levels are associated with detrimental effects on the cardiovascular system. OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between baseline thyroid status and incident atrial fibrillation, incident cardiovascular disease, and mortality in older men and women not taking thyroid medication. DESIGN,...

the association between overt hypothyroidism and altered lipid profile is well known, whereas the significance of dyslipidemia in subclinical hypothyroidism (sch) is still a matter of debate. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the lipid profile in patients with sch in comparison to controls. serum lipid parameters of 34 patients with sch and 34 age- and sex-matched healthy controls we...

background thyroid hormones play an important role in lipid metabolism. overt hypothyroidism is known to be associated with increased lipid profiles, but the effect of subclinical hypothyroidism (sch) on lipid profile remains controversial. objectives the aim of this study was to assess the association between thyroid disorders and serum lipid levels. materials and methods the present study was...

conclusions we revealed that thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy was associated with iugr and low apgar score even in subclinical forms. further studies are required to determine whether early diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases, even in subclinical form, can prevent their adverse effect on fetus. background maternal thyroid function alters during pregnancy. inadequate adaptation to th...

BACKGROUND There is dearth of research about female sexual dysfunction (FSD), especially in China, because of conservative beliefs. Previous studies indicated the relationship between subclinical hypothyroidism and anxiety and depression. However, there is dearth of research regarding the relationship between subclinical hypothyroidism and FSD in Chinses women. METHOD A hospital-based researc...

Thyroid disorders are the commonly detected endocrinopathies during pregnancy. It seems that prevalence of hypothyroidism is more in Asian countries compared with the West [1,2]. The majority of cases of hypothyroidism are considered to be subclinical type. In west, the prevalence of hypothyroidism is estimated to be 2-3% and 0.3-0.5% for subclinical and overt hypothyroidism respectively [2-4]....

UNLABELLED The objective of the study was to investigate whether subclinical hypothyroidism is a risk factor for a delayed clinical complete response in patients with SLE. This study included 363 patients with SLE classified according to the ACR classification criteria. These patients were divided into three groups: those who had subclinical hypothyroidism, a euthyroid state, and clinical hypot...
