Hypothyroidism delays cardiac repolarization in guinea pigs primarily by decreasing the dofetilide-resistant current (I(Ks)), providing a mechanistic explanation for thyroid regulation of cardiac electrophysiology.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Potential repolarization effects warrant monitoring in hypothyroid patients; extends animal mechanistic insights but leaves open human translation.
Bosch et al. (1999) studied this question.
