Amiodarone (AM) is used for the treatment and prevention of several arrhythmias. It is safely applicable even in case of left ventricular dysfunction. The more common application is limited by its side effects that can develop even at low doses and may involve several organs (thyroid gland, lungs, liver, heart, nerve system among others). The compl...

Thyroid hormones (THs) have a significant effect on the cardiovascular system. THs increase myocardium stretch, leading to the release of B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP), which is considered a diagnostic biomarker of heart failure (HF). Thyroid dysfunctions (subclinical hypothyroidism; SCH and subclinical hyperthyroidism; SCHyper) stimulate severa...
Background: Subclinical hyperthyroidism is a condition in which thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is mildly decreased with both free iodine thyroxine (free T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) within the normal range. The aim of this research is to determine the association between TSH with lipid profiles, age, blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) and...
Objectives: To establish the prevalence and incidence of thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy in a tertiary care center in Bangladesh. Methodology: 749 cases were randomly selected among the pregnant women who reported to antenatal clinic. Later 121 women were excluded as they were already diagnosed cases of thyroid disorder. The rest were investig...
Objective: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) affects 2.6% of adults and 36% of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Several case reports and small case series suggested a hyperthyroidism-PAH association. Design: Retrospective chart review. Methods: We undertook a retrospective chart review (1982-2018) to assess PAH prevalen...
Background: Despite the use of routine thyroid function tests, thyroid dysfunction is often missed in pregnant women, who may have fluctuating iodine reserves and this may be associated with an increased risk of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes due to thyroid dysfunction. Therefore, thyroglobulin (Tg) as a marker of iodine reserve may be added t...
