A Cross-Sectional Study of Acute Coronary Syndrome and Thyroid Profile: Dissecting the Relationship to Improve Patient Care

Abstract

Introduction: Thyroid-releasing hormones are pivotal in regulating cardiovascular (CVS) function and maintaining its hemodynamics and homeostasis. Even a minor alteration in thyroid function has an enormous implication on CVS morbidity and mortality. Moreover, hypothyroidism was found to be a potential menace for coronary artery disease (CAD). The objective of this study was to determine the role of thyroid-releasing hormones in patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
