34. STUDY PUPLESHED IN JORNAL OF CLINICAL ENDOCRINOLOGY AND METABOLISM 2006 THEY PREFORMED SERIAL ECHO CARDIOGRAPHY EXAMINATIONS ON 75 COSECUTIVE PATIENTS WITH HYPERTHYROIDISM(43+-2 YRS, 47 WOMEN) TO ESTIMATE PULMONARY ARTERY SYSTOLIC PRESSURE (PASP) , CARDIAC OUTPUT(CO) , TOTAL VASCULAR RESISTANCE (TVR) , LEFT VENTRICULAR FILLING PRESSURE .EXAMINATION PREFORMED AT BASE LINE AND 6 MONTHS AFTER INITIATION OF ANTITHYROID RX .RESULT WERE COMPARED WITH 35 AGE –SEX- MATCHED HEALTY CONTROLS.
35. CONCLUSION IN PATIENTS WITH HYPERTHYRIODISM AND NORMAL LV SYSTOLIC FUNCTION ,UPTO 47% HAD PHT DUE TO EITHER PAH WITH INCREASE CO (70%) OR PVH WITH ELEVATED LV FILLING PRESSURE (30%). MOST IMPORTANTLY HYPERTHYRIODISM –RELATED PHT WAS LARGELY ASYMPTOMATIC AND REVERSIBLE AFTER RESTORATION TO EUTHYROID STATE.
36. FINALY T HESE CASES SUPPORT FOR HYPERTHYROIDISM AS 2NDRY CAUSE OF PHT .IT IS IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THIS ASSOCIATION SINCE IT IS REVERSIBLE And THEREFORE T REATABLE CUASE OF PHT . I T IS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL PATIENTS WITH DIAGNOSIS OF IDIOPATHIC HF BE EXAMINED FOR TFT IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY HYPERTHYROID SUBJECTS WITH REVERSIBLE MYOCARDIAL DYSFUNCTION.
