Evaluation of the Cardiac Morphologic Alterations Secondary to Autoimmune Thyroid Disorder Using Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Purpose: Thyroid functional disease is associated with clinically significant cardiovascular changes. The aim of this study was to assess changes in the cardiac magnetic resonance imaging of patients with autoimmune thyroid disorders (AITs).

Materials And Methods: Forty patients with AIT (12 men, 28 women; age range, 20 to 82 y; mean age, 59 y) were identified and included in our study.
