Normal-range thyroid-stimulating hormone levels and cardiovascular events and mortality in type 2 diabetes
Thyroid dysfunction is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Whether thyroid function within the normal range is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease remains uncertain. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether plasma thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels in the normal range are a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus with high cardiovascular risk.
