It has been demonstrated that hypothryoidism could affect the prognosis of patients with cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to better clarify the prognostic role of hypothyroidism in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).We enrolled 384 consecutive outpatients (65±13 years, 296 males, NYHA 2.3±0.6, left ventricular ejection fraction, LVEF, 32±9%) with CHF (ESC criteria), in stable clinical conditions (at least 30 days) a...

Amiodarone, an iodine-containing antiarrhythmic drug frequently used in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients, is often the cause of primary hypothyroidism. It has not been well investigated, however, whether its use could lead to a poor prognosis in these patients by inducing and/or worsening thyroid function. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of hypothyroidism detection in CHF outpatients treated with amiodarone. Out of 355 patients affected by...
