Intra-left ventricular systolic asynchrony in patients with overt hyperthyroidism.

Hyperthyroidism causes a variety of adverse effects on the cardiovascular system. Left ventricular (LV) asynchrony is defined as loss of the simultaneous peak contraction of corresponding cardiac segments. The aim of this study was to assess systolic asynchrony in patients with overt hyperthyroidism.

Assessment of left ventricular systolic asynchrony in patients with clinical hypothyroidism.

Background: Hypothyroidism has a large number of adverse effects on the cardiovascular system such as impaired cardiac contractility. Left ventricular (LV) asynchrony is defined as loss of the simultaneous peak contraction of corresponding cardiac segments.

Objective: To assess systolic asynchrony in patients with overt hypothyroidism.
