Arterial pressure in the ophthalmic artery was studied in 73 patients (135 eyes) with autoimmune thyroiditis in different thyroid function. A rise of diastolic and systolic pressure in the ophthalmic artery was noted in all groups of patients. It could be accounted for by a high degree of activation of the hypothalamic region as a result of sharp deficiency of thyroid hormones. Raised arterial pressure in the ophthalmic artery in patients with euthyroidism made it possible to recommend this method for early diagnosis of autoimmune thyroiditis.
对73例（135只眼）处于不同甲状腺功能状态的自身免疫性甲状腺炎患者的眼动脉血压进行了研究。在所有患者组中均观察到眼动脉舒张压和收缩压升高。这可能是由于甲状腺激素严重缺乏导致下丘脑区域高度激活所致。甲状腺功能正常的患者眼动脉血压升高使得推荐该方法用于自身免疫性甲状腺炎的早期诊断成为可能。
