Show by Scientific Seminars International Foundation

Both hypo- and hyperthyroidism can cause alterations in cardiac rhythm, output and contractility as well as vascular resistance and blood pressure. It is possible that heart adaptations to the hypothyroid state could lead to myocardial damage. Given that LT4 therapy restores cardiac function, some authors recommend treatment to address potential cardiac risk in patients with hypothyroidism. Health Care Professionals caring of patients suffering from thyroid diseases should be confident in recognizing the connection between cardiac function and thyroid. This podcast is part of the continuing medical education program entitled “Advancing Thyroid Disease Management: Bridging Gaps with Expert Insight”, targeting Endocrinologists, Internal Medicine Specialists and General Practitioners
