Review Article Euthyroid Sick Syndrome

Abnormalities in the circulating thyroid hormone concentration, without associated pituitary or thyroid disease, are seen in a variety of nonthyroidal illnesses (NIH). These abnormalities may be low plasma triiodothyronine (T3), low thyroxine (T4) or a combination of both, with an inappropriately normal plasma thyrotropin (TSH). These could be because of various factors acting on monodeiodinase...

The Frequency of Cerebral Microembolism in Acute Myocardial Infarction

ABSTRACT Introduction: Stroke is more common in patients with cerebral microembolisms. Frequency of cerebral microembolisms (high intensity transient signals, HITS) in acute myocardial infarction has been reported about 17%. The factors that influence on microembolism after myocardial infarction (MI) are not definitive. Type of MI, Ejection fraction, Hx of Streptokinase is the factors that were...

Sick euthyroid syndrome is associated with poor prognosis in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous intervention.

BACKGROUND Concomitant thyroid and heart disease are frequently encountered in clinical practice. There are many studies evaluating thyroid function in acute and critical conditions. Information on thyroid dysfunction in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is limited; its correlation with short and long-term outcome is not fully known. METHODS Four hundred and fifty seven patie...

CLINICAL STUDY Involvement of circulating interleukin-6 and its receptor in the development of euthyroid sick syndrome in patients with acute myocardial infarction

Objective: In patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), low triiodothyronine (T3) levels with normal or subnormal levels of thyrotropin (TSH), the euthyroid sick syndrome (ESS), have been reported, however, the mechanism of altered thyroid hormone metabolism is unknown. Recent reports have shown that interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of AMI and ESS. This prelimina...
