Author(s): Dr. Sanjay Singh
Abstract: Background: Hyperthyroidism is defined as excess concentration of thyroid hormones in the body due to either increased synthesis of the thyroid hormone, increased release of preformed thyroid hormones, or from endogenous or exogenous extrathyroidal sources. The present study was conducted to assess cardiovascular manifestations in hyperthyroid disorder patients.
Materials and Methods: 112 patients of hyperthyroidism of both genders were included. Data such as name, age, gender etc. was recorded. A thorough clinical examination was carried out. Assessment of CBC, RFT, LFT, serum electrolytes, triglycerides, LDL, HDL, total cholesterol, FT4, FT3 and TSH and radiological variables were recorded. All underwent ECG and 2D ECHO.
Results: Out of 112 patients, males were 70 and females were 42. common symptoms were pallor seen in 86, edema in 75, moist skin in 60 and eye signs in 51. Cardiovascular symptoms recorded were chest pain in 92, palpitations in 85 and breathlessness in 72. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). ECG changes were seen in 40 patients. Out of this, sinus tachycardia was seen in 70%, ST T changes in 10%, AF in 3%, RVH in 2%, LVH in 10% and RBBB in 5%. The difference was significant (P< 0.05).
Conclusion: Cardiovascular manifestations were common in hyperthyroid patients.
