Introduction: Thyroid dysfunction is common affecting 5–10% of the adult population. Cardiovascular disease, including acute myocardial infarction (AMI), has been suggested as one of the adverse outcomes of thyroid disease. Furthermore, individuals with thyroid dysfunction at the time of AMI have worse outcomes. Despite this, there is scarce data on the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in patients with AMI. We conducted a prospective observational multi-cen...

Introduction: Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) has been associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction in a number of cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. As the majority of cardiovascular (CV) events are thromboembolic, we evaluated blood thrombogenicity in patients a few days post acute myocardial infarction with relation to their thyroid status.Aim: To assess the relationship between thyroid function/status and thromb...
