Haemodynamics of hyperthyroidism: increased cardiac work and findings related to vasodilatation.
Eur Thyroid J
October 2024
I Pörsti, Tampere University, Tampere, Finland.
Objective: Hyperthyroidism increases cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study we compared non-invasive haemodynamics between 20 hyperthyroid patients and 60 euthyroid subjects.
Methods: The measurements were performed median 6 days after the initiation of antithyroid medication when the patients were still hyperthyroid.

Tāwharau Ora - School of Veterinary Science, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the occurrence of subclinical cardiomyopathy and cardiac-related deaths in a colony of non-purebred cats in New Zealand as a representation of the general cat population.
- A total of 132 cats underwent physical exams and echocardiography, revealing that 18.2% had heart disease, primarily hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), while 24% exhibited heart murmurs.
- Over a ten-year period, heart disease was determined to be the cause of death in 5.3% of the cat population studied, with a specific prevalence of HCM-related deaths at 3.8%.*
Takayasu arteritis and hyperthyroidism: A secondary hypertension case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
November 2023
Department of Hypertension, Henan Province People's Hospital, Zheng Zhou, China.
Article Synopsis
- Renovascular disease and hyperthyroidism are both causes of secondary hypertension, with Takayasu arteritis (TAK) contributing to renal artery stenosis and leading to increased blood pressure.
- A case study of an 18-year-old female showed significant hypertension and elevated thyroid hormones, leading to diagnoses of TAK and hyperthyroidism, both of which improved after treatment.
- Measuring blood pressure in both upper limbs is crucial for accurate diagnosis, as undetected vascular issues can worsen with improper treatment, highlighting the need for further studies on the potential connection between TAK and hyperthyroidism.
