Cardiovascular risk factors in middle-aged women with subclinical hypothyroidism.
OBJECTIVES Overt hypothyroidism (OH) is associated with premature atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (CHD). Recently, C-reactive protein (CRP) and total homocysteine (tHct) emerged as additional independent cardiovascular risk factors. Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH), affecting as many as 15% of middle-aged women is not known to be associated with risk for CHD. DESIGN AND MEASUREMENTS...
متن کامل[Cardiovascular risk factors in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism].
BACKGROUND/AIMS Overt hypothyroidism is disease associated with accelerated arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Whether subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk is contraversial. As SH is a high prevalence thyroid dysfunction, specially in older women, it is important to evaluate cardiovascular risk factors in these patients and that was the aim ...
متن کاملHemostatic system as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in women with subclinical hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism has been associated with atherosclerosis. The mechanisms of atherosclerosis in patients with thyroid failure remain controversial. Hypofibrinolysis might be a risk factor for thromboembolic disease in subclinical hypothyroidism (SH). We measured fibrinolytic activity in patients with SH before and after levothyroxine (LT(4)) treatment and compared it to those of controls. We pros...
متن کاملEpicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness in Patients With Subclinical Hypothyroidism and the Relationship Thereof With Visceral Adipose Tissue Thickness
BACKGROUND Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) is associated with cardiovascular metabolic syndromes, especially dislipidemia and abdominal obesity. Visceral abdominal adipose tissue (VAAT) and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) have the same ontogenic origin and produce many proinflammatory and proatherogenic cytokines. We evaluated EAT and VAAT thickness in patients with SH. METHODS Forty-one pati...
متن کاملAssessment of the Cardiovascular Risk in Subclinical Hypothyroidism
Background: The decision about whether to screen patients for subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is clouded by inconsistent evidence of association of dyslipidemia and other risk factors of cardiovascular disease with SCH and also any benefit from early treatment. Objective: To determine whether the known risk factors of cardiovascular disease such as hypertension, increase in fasting blood gluco...
