Heart Disease Link to Thyroid Problems
Information about the connection between heart disease and thyroid problems.
Normal TSH Levels Increase Risks of Fatal Heart Disease
A Norwegian study published in 2008 has found that mild thyroid changes, as represented by small elevations of TSH within the normal reference range, can increase the risk of fatal coronary heart disease in women.

The Link Between Subclinical Hypothyroidism and Metabolic Syndrome
Researchers have found that low-normal thyroid function - a condition known as subclinical hypothyroidism - is a risk factor for metabolic syndrome. A look at the new findings, and an overview of metabolic syndrome.

Overactive Thyroid Associated With Development of Abnormal Heart Rhythm
Having an overactive thyroid gland is linked with an increased risk for atrial fibrillation (a type of abnormal heart rhythm), but is not associated with a higher risk for other cardiovascular problems or increased risk of death.

Researchers Claim No Increased Heart Risk For Seniors if Mildly Underactive Thyroid Left Untreated
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine are claiming that their latest study shows that leaving a mildly underactive thyroid gland (subclinical hypothyroidism) untreated does not lead to increased cardiovascular risk.

Thyroid Dysfunction Linked to Heart Failure in New Research Study
A new study is giving researchers hope that more aggressive treatment of hypothyroidism and borderline hypothyroidism will result in a reduction of heart disease in human beings. The discovery could also potentially lead to improvements in patients with heart disease. Find out more about the study now.

Low Thyroid is Heart Risk for Older Women
New research finds that older women with subclinical hypothyroidism are almost twice as likely as women without this condition to have blockages in the aorta and twice as likely to have had heart attacks.

Palpitations? Pounding? You Might Have Mitral Valve Prolapse
Even with your thyroid under control, do you still have fatigue, low tolerance for exercise, intestinal problems, and shortness of breath? You may have mitral valve prolapse (MVP) syndrome, a heart valve defect more prevalent in people with autoimmune thyroid disease.
