Study on atherosclerosis in the patients with hyperthyroidism

Abstract

Abstract: Objective To investigate the characteristics of carotid atherosclerotic lesions in patients with hyperthyroidism. Methods 72 patients with hyperthyroidism ( hyperthyroidism group) and 63 cases of healthy volunteers ( control group) were investigated, the changes of CIMT, ET, NO, CRP were observed. Results CIMT in hyperthyroidism group with above 45 years old was higher than those of the hyperthyroidism group and control group with Less than 45 years old. The levels of ET, NO, CRP in hyperthyroidism group were higher than those of the control group. Conclusion Hyperthyroidism is associated with endothelial damage and increase the risk of atherosclerosis

Key words: hyperthyroidism, atherosclerosis, CIMT
