The subclinical Myocardial Dysfunction in Children with Euthyroid Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Demonstrated by Speckle Tracking Echocardiography

Conclusions: Conventional echocardiography does not exclude subclinical LV wall motion abnormalities in asymptomatic patients with eHT. The results show that myocardial function in children with eHT has impaired in the absence of any clinical symptoms and conventional echocardiography is inadequate to determine these changes.
