Prevalence and Risk Factors of Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Patients With Hyperthyroidism

ConclusionLV diastolic dysfunction was very common, in particular, in older and overweight or obese patients with overt hyperthyroidism. Additionally, age and BMI were independent risk factors for LV diastolic dysfunction, while the level of thyroid hormones was not. Therefore, besides the LV systolic function, we also need focus on the diastolic function in patients with overt hyperthyroidism in clinical work, especially the older and overweight or obese patients.
