“…Previous studies have shown that TSH levels are highly stable in frozen sera over prolonged periods (31,32). Other studies have demonstrated that among ambulatory adults, TSH levels of 0.1 mIU/L or less are highly correlated with a diminished response to thyroidreleasing hormone stimulation (33) and are associated with an increased incidence of atrial fibrillation (34).…”
