Abstract

In this chapter, we summarize thyroid hormone physiology as background to reviewing nonthyroidal disease syndrome in animals and humans. We then review the relationship between thyroid hormone regulation of the heart in health and disease. Finally, we review the basis for thyroid hormone treatment of cardiac dysfunction in brain-dead heart donors.
