Thyroid Disease as a Risk Factor for Cerebrovascular Disease

Thyroid disease is the medical condition impairing function of the thyroid. Among this disorder category, hyperthyroidism is that the thyroid gland produces excessive amounts of thyroid hormones whereas hypothyroidism is that the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Various studies have supported the comorbid association between thyroid disease and cardiovascular disorder. However, there is insufficient evidence to prove the relationship between cerebrovascular disease (CVD) and thyroid disease.
