Gunjan Kumar Mandal, Dr. Suvarna Prasad, Dr. B. K. Agrawal
Abstract :
Introduction: The most common cause of cardiovascular disease affecting humans is hypertension. It has been reported that patients with hypertension may have a tendency for impaired thyroid function.
Materials and Methods: The study includes 80 patients with hypertension as a subject and 80 patients without hypertension as a control. Thyroid profile was assayed in hypertension patients.
Results: In our study it was noted that thyroid dysfunction was prevalent in 38 patients out of 80 patients included of which 14 patients were subclinical hypothyroidism, 4 patients were subclinical hyperthyroidism, 6 patients were hypothyroidism and 14 patients were hyperthyroidism.
Conclusion: The study advocates that screening should be recommended for all hypertensive patients to rule out thyroid dysfunction.
