Thyroid Function in patients with Ischemic Heart Diseases

Abstract

The effects of thyroid hormones on the cardiovascular system are the most clinically useful and sensitive signs of thyroid dysfunction. Regarding pathophysiology, thyroid dysfunction has essential cardiovascular consequences in myocardial contractility, peripheral hemodynamics, and heart rate. The aim: To study the association of serum TSH, T4, and T3 levels on ischemic heart diseases. Patients & methods a cross sectional study was conducted in Sallah Alddin general hospital in Tikrit city – Iraq , from 1st January to 30th of June 2017. Fifty patients (34 male & 16 female ) have joined this study age (mean 58.6 ± 15.2 years), all suffering from ischemic heart diseases (myocardial infarction, angina, & congestive heart failure) & admitted to the Coronary cure unite in the hospital. Also, 50 control healthy subjects were participated in the present study, (30 males and 20 female subjects). Results anthropometric measurements for both males and females (age, weight, height BMI) show no significant differences between patients and the control, while, the BMI for female group exhibits a significant difference. Female and male lipid profile results indicate good significant differences between patients and control except for LDL result for female. Moreover, there are no significant differences for LDL and VLDL in male patients. The TSH, T3, T4, and troponin levels in both male and female patients show significant differences between them and the control groups except T3 level show no significant differences.
