Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the prevalence and prognosis of hypothyroidism in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), revealing that 32.35% of a sample of 34 patients had hypothyroidism.
- - Patients with hypothyroidism exhibited significantly higher mean pulmonary arterial pressures and pulmonary vascular resistance compared to those without thyroid issues, indicating more severe cardiovascular effects.
- - The findings suggest that hypothyroidism could negatively impact clinical outcomes for CTEPH patients, highlighting the need for further research on how hypothyroidism treatments might influence these outcomes.
