Abstract :

 

Aims & Objectives

To evaluate the cardio–vascular changes by Electrocardiography and Colour Doppler Echocardiography in newly diagnosed patients of hypothyroidism. The effect of treatment on these changes were also documented.

Methodology

A Cross–Sectional prospective study consisting of 60 cases of hypothyroidism was undertaken to study the cardiac manifestations by ECG and Colour Doppler Echocardiography.

Results

In our study, hypothyroidism was encountered most commonly in females(78.33%) and age group of 24–34years(33.33%).

The commonest ECG changes encountered in this study were Low Voltage Complexes in 38.3% followed by T wave changes in 36.6% during the 1st visit. RBBB was seen in 2 patients and persisted on follow up. As per Echocardiographic abnormalities, Diastolic dysfunction was the commonest finding seen in 18.3% patients on 1st visit which persisted in 10% patients on follow up, followed by Pericardial Effusion.

Discussion

In the study population,female preponderance was seen.Low Voltage complexs were seen in 38.3% of patients in our study and Sashi et al found it in 40% patients while T wave changes in our study showed 36.6% while Sashi et all found them in 23.3%. On ECHO, Diastolic dysfunction was seen in 18.3% of patients and R.verma found it in 27% patients.

 

Conclusion

Early assessment of cardiac complications through Electrocardiography and Echocardiography is desired to minimize morbidity and mortality in patients of hypothyroidism.The study also confirms that most of these changes are reversible with treatment.
