Abstract

The present study draws special attention to find the effect of thyroxin in subclinical hypothyroid patients with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. The aim of the study is to assess the left ventricular diastolic function in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism after starting treatment with thyroxin. In this study all patients were above the age 18 years having subclinical hypothyroidism with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Apart from the detailed clinical history, relevant clinical examination was done in very participants. This study shows that after starting thyroxin in subclinical hypothyroid patients with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, there was drastic improvement in left ventricular diastolic function.
