[Central hemodynamics in patients with hypothyroidism]
Abstract:
A study was made of the parameters of central hemodynamics in 48 patients with hypothyroidism in various degrees of its compensation. Tetrapolar chest rheography was used for this purpose. The content of the blood thyroid hormones was determined by radioimmunoassay. The patients developed a hypokinetic blood circulation, correlating to a degree of severity of hypothyroidism. Significant correlation between the levels of the thyroid hormones and indices of central hemodynamics was found. The method of tetrapolar chest rheography was shown to be a reliable and noninvasive test for assessment of the adequacy of substitution therapy in hypothyroidism and myocardial sensitivity to the thyroid hormones.

Hypertension (High blood pressure)
Hypertension occurs when blood pressure readings consistently exceed the normal range. It is diagnosed when systolic blood pressure (the top number, indicating pressure while the heart beats)...
Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The iodine is then...
Cardiac Output I:Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output (CO) refers to the total amount of blood ejected by one of the ventricles in liters per minute (L/min). In a resting adult, CO ranges from 5 to 6 L/min, adjusting according to the body's metabolic requirements.
Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output adapts to metabolic demands during stress, physical activity, or illness. The autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate via the sinoatrial node. The parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart rate...
