Aims:
Assessment of global longitudinal strain of left ventricle and coronary bloodflow in patients with primary subclinical hypothyroidism.
Materials And Methods:
The study involved 23 women with primary subclinical hypothyroidism of age from 55 to 75 years. Physical examination, transthoracic EchoCG, coronary bloodflow assessment and global LV longitudinal strain by speckle tracking method were performed to all patients. The data obtained were compared to the results of 20 women without any thyroid diseases comparable to the main group by age and concomitant diseases.
Results:
Patients with primary subclinical hypothyroidism have signs of diastolic dysfunction significantly more frequently than in control group, and increased values of posterior left ventricle wall and interventricular septum thickness. Global longitudinal strain of left ventricle in patients with hypothyroidism was lower than in control group and patients with hypothyroidism had higher FVI values in perforant coronary arteries.
Conclusion:
Patients with subclinical hypothyroidism demonstrated decrease of global longitudinal strain and increase of volume bloddflow rate in performant coronary arteries.
