Introduction: From 2022 Guideline for Management of Heart Failure it’s known that hypothyroidism is a potential cause of heart failure.Aim: Clarify the hemodynamic changes caused by hypothyroidism using myocardial work, an emerging echocardiographic tool.Materials and Methods: Study population includes 48 patients with hypothyroidism in absence of cardiovascular risk factors and 102 healthy controls with euthyroidism. Myocardial work assessment was performed with EchoPAC. Four values are calculated: global work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW), global wasted work (GWW) and global work efficiency (GWE). Continuous normally distributed variables were compared by using the Student t-test. Probability value 10.Conclusions: This study highlights how thyroid function plays a central role in regulating cardiac performance and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases in patients with heart failure.
