The next issue of Complex Issues of Cardiovascular Disease will be focused on cardiac imaging and cardiac rehabilitation. All articles accepted for the publication will be posted in the "Online Fisrt" section. You can be the first to read the article "Assessment of morphological and functional parameters of myocardium in patients with coronary artery disease and overt primary hypothyroidism" by A. R. Muneer et al. This is a joint researh of the Irkutsk State Medical University and the Kerala Institute of Medical Sciences (Kerala, India). The article discusses comorbid associations in cardiovascular diseases as one of the most pressing problems of cardiology. Patients with coronary artery disease and concurrent overt primary hypothyroidism demonstrated worse dyslipidemia parameters, glycemic indicators and impaired glomerular filtration rate. Three-vessel disease prevailed among patients enrolled in the study. The relationship between TSH and myocardial morphological and functional parameters was determined. Obtained data can be used for assessing the prognosis in this group of patients. |
