Key result
Subclinical hypothyroidism was associated with significantly lengthened left ventricular systolic asynchrony parameters compared to controls (p < 0.001).
Why the study?
Is subclinical hypothyroidism associated with left ventricular systolic asynchrony compared to healthy controls?
Case-Control (n=90)
Is subclinical hypothyroidism associated with left ventricular systolic asynchrony compared to healthy controls?
p-value: p=<0.001
Subclinical hypothyroidism is associated with left ventricular systolic asynchrony, which may serve as an early warning sign of cardiac systolic dysfunction.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May flag early LV dysfunction risk in subclinical hypothyroidism; leaves open causal links and need for prospective outcome trials.
Öztürk et al. (2012) conducted a case-control in Subclinical hypothyroidism (n=90). Subclinical hypothyroidism vs. Controls was evaluated on Left ventricular systolic asynchrony parameters (Ts-SD-12, Ts-12, Ts-SD-6, Ts-6) (p=<0.001). Subclinical hypothyroidism was associated with significantly lengthened left ventricular systolic asynchrony parameters compared to controls (p < 0.001).
