Association between vitamin D deficiency and heart failure risk in the elderly
ConclusionsThere was a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the elderly, and the evidence shows a strong association between vitamin D deficiency and increased risk of heart failure in this population.

Symptomatic atrial fibrillation and risk of cardiovascular events: data from the Euro Heart Survey
ConclusionPersistence or development of symptoms after medical treatment are associated with an increased risk of CV events during a 1-year follow-up. Type of AF, along with hypothyroidism, COPD and chronic heart failure are significantly associated with symptoms persistence despite medical treatment.

Thyroid Function, Cardiovascular Risk Factors, and Incident Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study.
Conclusions: Hypothyroidism is associated with hyperlipidemia, but the magnitude is small in mild chemical hypothyroidism, and cardiovascular outcomes are similar between thyroid function groups. PMID: 28605456 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Predictors of atrial fibrillation in patients with cryptogenic stroke (P6.294)
Conclusions:Consistent with prior studies, atrial fibrillation was found by outpatient monitoring in a notable percentage of cryptogenic stroke patients. Predictors of occult atrial fibrillation in our study population included PACs on EKG and higher TSH levels. Although an association between hyperthyroidism and atrial fibrillation has been well established, our results intriguingly suggest that hypothyroidism may be a predictive factor as well.Disclosure: Dr. Renati has nothing to disclose.

Pituitary apoplexy causing bilateral anterior cerebral infarction (P3.283)
Conclusions:Pituitary apoplexy occurs when a pituitary tumor, typically macroadenoma, hemorrhages or infarcts resulting in a rapid expansion of the hypophysis and compression of adjacent structures, including the internal carotid arteries (ICA)which can result in cerebral ischemia. Proposed mechanisms of cerebral infarction to date include both direct compression or vasospasm of the ICA. Vasospasm as a cause is proposed to be from either extravasation of blood into the subarachnoid space or release of vasoactive substances by the tumor itself. This matter is still debated in the literature. Emergent recognition and imaging...

Hypothyroidism is associated with all ‐cause mortality in a national cohort of chronic hemodialysis patients
ConclusionHypothyroidism is associated with increased all‐cause mortality in chronic HD patients. The interaction of hypothyroidism and diabetes, but not other common comorbidities in HD patients, has an effect on mortality risks.

Effects of short ‐term levothyroxine therapy on myocardial injuries in patients with severe overt hypothyroidism: Evidence from a cardiac MRI Study
ConclusionWe suggest that the negative effect induced by severe overt HT on the cardiovascular system can be significantly improved by restoring euthyroidism with short‐term levothyroxine therapy.Level of Evidence: 1J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2017.

Subclinical thyroid dysfunction and cardiovascular diseases: 2016 update
AbstractSubclinical thyroid dysfunction comprises subclinical hypothyroidism (SHypo), defined as elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) by normal free thyroxine (FT4), and subclinical hyperthyroidism (SHyper) with decreased or undetectable TSH and normal FT4. Up to 10% of the elderly have SHypo, which is usually asymptomatic. Individual participant data (IPD) analyses of prospective cohort studies from the international Thyroid Studies Collaboration show that SHypo is associated with increased coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 1,58 for TSH ≥ 10 mIU/L, 95% CI 1.10–2.27), as well as increased ...

I'm a Diabetic, Why is my Shoulder Frozen?
What Is Adhesive Capsulitis? Adhesive capsulitis is a painful, progressive loss of shoulder motion. The shoulder is usually stiff and will not move. This condition is called "frozen shoulder". When a patient presents with adhesive capsulitis, they are unable to move their arm up or turn it to either side either with or without assistance (passive/active range of motion). Typically adhesive capsulitis occurs in approximately 2% of the population and usually affects people 40-60 years of age. Frozen shoulder tends to occur more often in females. The loss of motion occurs due to inflammation, fibrosis, scarring and contractio...

Long-term Outcome in Levothyroxine Treated Patients with Subclinical Hypothyroidism and Concomitant Heart Disease.
CONCLUSION: Levothyroxine treatment in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism and heart disease was not associated with a significant benefit nor risk of all-cause mortality, MACE or hospital admission in this large real-world cohort study. PMID: 27571183 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Clinical Reasoning: An unusual case of blurry vision in a young woman after ovarian induction
A 38-year-old woman presented to our emergency department with blurry vision and headache. She developed her symptoms insidiously 8 days into ovarian induction for in vitro fertilization (IVF), consisting of recombinant follicular stimulating hormone, gonadotropin, and a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist. The headache was mild, constant, diffuse, nonpositional, and minimally alleviated with ibuprofen. She described binocular difficulty "focusing her vision" but denied a field cut or diplopia. A community ophthalmologist reported a normal dilated funduscopic examination but noted a subtle right homonymous hemianopia...

Cognitive Function and the Ageing Process: The Peculiar Role of Mild Thyroid Failure.
Conclusion The available data suggest a complex relationship between mild thyroid failure and the ageing process as well as the development and progression of several cardiovascular and neurological diseases. In this paper, we reviewed the scientific English literature on sHT and the ageing process focusing on experimental evidences related to cognitive impairment and dementia. Moreover, we focused on new patents of treatments potentially able to improve the care of sHT patients, especially in the elderly, where treatment drawbacks may have negative impact on the long term outcome.

Clinical outcomes of patients with hypothyroidism undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
Conclusion Hypothyroidism is associated with a higher incidence of MACCE compared with euthyroidism in patients undergoing PCI. Maintaining adequate control on TRT is beneficial in preventing MACCE.
