Associated with higher 24-h ambulatory BP parameters in hypothyroidism; leaves open causal links and treatment effects on outcomes.
Does hypothyroidism increase 24-h ambulatory blood pressure parameters compared to healthy volunteers?
Hypothyroidism is associated with higher 24-h ambulatory systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, and blood pressure variability, suggesting a potential mechanism for increased cardiovascular risk.
