Abstract EN
Hypothyroid patients are liable for cardiovascular complications, especially arrhythmias hypertension, ventricular dysfunction ischemic heart disease, and pericardial effusion.
To detect the above-mentioned cardiovascular manifestations in hypothyroid patients before and after treatment.
92 cases of hypothyroidism, (Collected within 25 years) diagnosed by hormonal assay were studied for their cardiovascular manifestations, clinically, by ECG, chest X-ray, echocardiography and sometimes exercise ECG at time of diagnosis (from 1988-2002 ) and followed for the first 10 years from the starting point of the treatment.
Among 92 hypothyroid patients studied, cardiovascular manifestations were not high before treatment, while after treatment and during the first 10 years of follow-up, no relevant cardiovascular disease could be detected.
Although hypothyroid patients are liable for cardiovascular complications, in this study cardiovascular manifestations are not common in hypothyroid patients neither before nor after the treatment
