Effect of thyroid stimulating hormone on the prognosis of coronary heart disease.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Clinical studies have shown that thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk and mortality. Even within normal ranges, elevated TSH levels have an impact on the cardiovascular system and have been associated with cardiac dysfunction. The aim of our study was to evaluate the predictive value of admission fasting serum TSH levels in patients with coronary heart disease in relation to long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and all-cause mortality.

Method

A total of 3515 patients with coronary heart disease who met the inclusion criteria were divided into four groups according to the quantile of TSH levels: Group 1 (TSH, 0.34-1.02 mIU/L, n=878); Group 2 (TSH, 1.03-1.71 mIU/L, n=886); Group 3 (TSH, 1.72-2.8
