Thyroid Hormone-Regulated Cardiac Gene Expression and Cardiovascular Disease

Abstract excerpt

The effects of hypothyroidism on the cardiovascular system have been the subject of much research over the last several decades. The hypothyroid cardiac phenotype includes impaired contractile function, decreased cardiac output, and alterations in myocyte gene expression. In the setting of cardiac disease, as in other acute illnesses, alterations in thyroid hormone metabolism occur that result in decreased serum...
