Evaluation of Thyroid Function in Patients Hospitalized for Acute Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Thyroid hormones (TH) are crucial for cardiovascular homeostasis. Recent evidence suggests that acute cardiovascular conditions, particularly acute heart failure (AHF), significantly impair the thyroid axis. Our aim was to evaluate the association of thyroid function with cardiovascular parameters and short- and long-term clinical outcomes in AHF patients.

Methods

We performed a single-centre retrospective cohort study including patients hospitalized for AHF between January 2012 and December 2017. We used linear, logistic, and Cox proportional hazard regression models to analyse the association of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4) with inpatient cardiovascular parameters, in-hospital mortality, short-term adverse clinical outcomes, and lon
