Early detection of isolated left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in high-risk differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients on TSH-suppressive therapy

Abstract

In subjects with SCH at the early phase of TSH-suppressive therapy, evidence of isolated longitudinal LV diastolic dysfunction was observed, despite a normal LV morphology. Further prospective studies to clarify the prognosis of picking-up early diastolic dysfunction in asymptomatic patients are needed before serial measurements could be recommended.
