Subclinical Hypothyroidism and Cardiovascular Disease
Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is a common disorder that is characterized by elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone levels in conjunction with free thyroxine concentrations within the normal reference range. Thyroid hormones are known to affect the heart and vasculature and, as a result, the impact of SCH on the cardiovascular (CV) system has recently become an important topic of research. Stro...
متن کاملAssociations of subclinical cardiovascular disease with frailty.
BACKGROUND Frail health in old age has been conceptualized as a loss of physiologic reserve associated with loss of lean mass, neuroendocrine dysregulation, and immune dysfunction. Little work has been done to define frailty and describe the underlying pathophysiology. METHODS Frailty status was defined in participants of the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS), a cohort of 5,201 community-dwel...
متن کاملCardiovascular risk and subclinical cardiovascular disease in polycystic ovary syndrome.
In addition to its effects on reproductive health, it is now well recognized that polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a metabolic disorder, characterized by decreased insulin sensitivity which leads to an excess lifetime risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. PCOS patients are often obese, hypertensive, dyslipidemic and insulin resistant; they have obstructive sleep apnea and have ...
متن کاملMyeloperoxidase, subclinical atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease events.
OBJECTIVES We evaluated whether myeloperoxidase (MPO) predicts future cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in asymptomatic adults and whether subclinical atherosclerosis may affect this relation. BACKGROUND Myeloperoxidase is a leukocyte-derived enzyme-generating reactive oxidant species that has been shown to predict risk of CVD in selected populations. METHODS We studied 1,302 asymptomatic...
متن کاملA Rare Case of Subclinical Primary Aldosteronism and Subclinical Cushing's Syndrome without Cardiovascular Complications.
We report a rare case of subclinical primary aldosteronism (PA) and subclinical Cushing's syndrome (CS). A 49-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for the evaluation of an adrenal incidentaloma. The patient had no previous medical history and no family history of notable illness. Her blood pressure was 103/60 mmHg. She had no Cushingoid features. Routine laboratory examinations were with...
