A Study of Thyroid Profile and Sick Euthyroid State in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome

A Cross-Sectional Study of Acute Coronary Syndrome and Thyroid Profile: Dissecting the Relationship to Improve Patient Care

“…Thyroid hormones have a well-established and important implication in the regulation of body weight and thus with the incidence of obesity. A similar finding was found in the present study, where a significant portion of the patients were found obese (61%), aligning with the results reported by Sengottaiyan et al [ 25 ]. Hence, BMI is recommended as a strong predictor of thyroid dysfunction in patients with ACS.…”

“…It was noted that a significant portion of the patients (31.2%) with ACS who had abnormal thyroid hormone profiles were aged less than 40 years, while the lowest prevalence of abnormal thyroid profiles was seen among patients above 60 years of age. These results were aligned with the results reported by Sengottaiyan et al [ 25 ]. This finding can be substantiated by existing evidence, which reported that in very old populations, a definite degree of downregulation mechanism of thyroid hormones existed, which might represent a protective factor and make them less vulnerable to abnormal thyroid profiles [ 26 ].…”

“…These results were aligned with the findings reported by Rahman et al [23]. This corroborates the fact that heart disorders such as ACS have been linked with an alteration in the level of serum thyroid hormone levels [24,25].…”

“…Regarding gender distribution, though statistically insignificant, males (31.42%) were found to have a higher prevalence of abnormal thyroid hormone levels than females (24.61%). These findings were found to be similar to the results reported by Sengottaiyan et al [ 25 ] and Sah et al [ 8 ], suggesting that the occurrence of socioeconomic status (SES) was not influenced by sex. Thyroid hormones have a well-established and important implication in the regulation of body weight and thus with the incidence of obesity.…”

Study of Risk Factors for ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction and it’s Correlation With Thyroid Functions ProfileStudy of Risk Factors for ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction and it’s Correlation With Thyroid Functions Profile

“…In present study, 70.7% had elevated BMI which was in accordance with the study conducted by Sreevidya KR et al [13] In present study, smoking accounted for 78.6% of the study population which was higher than the results of the study conducted by Helmy MM et al and Saleh AU et al [14,15] Incidence of hypertension in the present study was 40.7% patients which was in accordance with the study conducted by Saleh AU et al and Okuyan E et al [15,16] The incidence of diabetes in our study was 24.3% which was in line with study conducted by Okuyan E et al 16 Diabetes Mellitus was statistically significant risk factor (p value <0.05) in patients with STEMI with different levels of thyroid. In present study 21.4% patients were dyslipidemic which were in line with the study done by Saleh AU et al [15] Incidence of thyroid dysfunction in patients with STEMI was 14.3% in present study which was comparable to study conducted by Helmy MM et al, [14] Khalil OA et al, [17] Qari FA, [18] Sreevidya KR et al and Sengottaiyan ST et al [13,19] Incidence of thyroid dysfunction in present study stated that…”
