Abstract

The aims of this study were to demonstrate ventricular function changes in patients with congenital hypothyroidism and to investigate whether there is an association between any such changes and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels using M-mode and Doppler electrocardiography (ECG) and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI). Twenty-seven patients 5-30 days of age with congenital hypothyroidism who were scheduled to receive L-thyroxine treatment and 20 healthy newborns were included in this study. Twelve-lead ECG and M-mode TDI recordings of the patient and healthy groups were obtained. The patient group was divided into two subgroups according to TSH level (>100 uIU/mL or <100 uIU/mL), which were then compared on all parameters. Decreases were observed in the ejection fraction (EF), shortening fraction (SF), and mitral lateral annulus, mitral septal annulus, and tricuspid lateral annulus systolic velocity (Sa) on TDI, whereas left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESd) and corrected QT interval (QTc) dispersion were significantly increased in the patient group compared with the control group. No significant differences between the groups were found in left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDd) or heart rate. When the two pati...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
