Introduction: Thyroid hormone imbalances are known to significantly affect cardiovascular health, contributing to conditions such as arrhythmias, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Given the increasing prevalence of thyroid dysfunction and its potential impact on cardiovascular outcomes, early diagnosis and intervention are crucial, particularly within specific regional populations.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of thyroid hormone imbalance on cardiovascular health outcomes in patients at Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, over a 24-month period.

Introduction: Known risk factors for new-onset atrial fibrillation/flutter (NOAF) include thyrotoxicosis and subclinical hypothyroidism. While prior research has predominantly explored the link between thyrotoxicosis and NOAF, the presence of subclinical hypothyroidism among patients presenting with acute NOAF in the emergency department (ED) remains an underexplored area of inquiry. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of undiagnosed thyrotoxicosis and subclinical hypothyroidism in patients with acute NOAF diagnosed in the ED.

Primary amyloidosis (AL type) is a systemic disease that can lead to structural and functional damage to organs and tissues such as the kidney, heart and liver with non-specific symptoms. Most of the affected patients develop thyroid infiltration and thus diffuse enlargement of the thyroid gland, while cases leading to hypothyroidism are exceedingly rare. Some researchers have analyzed thyroid function in newly diagnosed patients with AL amyloidosis, and found that the incidence of overt hypothyroidism is only 7%.
