The investigative findings of patients considered to have possible hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were examined, and 31 of these fulfilling defined criteria for the disease were reviewed in detail, with emphasis on thyroid abnormalities. Four patients had a history of thyroid disease (13%). Explanations considered for the apparent association were the effects of hyperthyroidism on normal, or more probably, incipiently abnormal myocardium.
对被认为可能患有肥厚型心肌病患者的调查结果进行了检查,并对其中31例符合该疾病明确标准的患者进行了详细回顾,重点关注甲状腺异常情况。4例患者有甲状腺疾病史(13%)。对于这种明显关联所考虑的解释是甲状腺功能亢进对正常心肌或更可能是早期异常心肌的影响。
