АРТЕРИАЛЬНАЯ ГИПЕРТЕНЗИЯ ПРИ ТИРЕОТОКСИКОЗЕ И ЕЕ РОЛЬ В РЕМОДЕЛИРОВАНИИ ЛЕВОГО ЖЕЛУДОЧКА

Objective . We present the results of the study assessing the frequency and character of hypertension in thyrotoxicosis, and its impact on left ventricular remodeling and cardiovascular prognosis. Results and conclusions . Our data demonstrated that hypertension, and predominantly systolic hypertension, is highly prevalent in thyrotoxicosis and affects left ventricular remodeling. All normotensive patients developed only eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). The prevalence of LVH, and of its concentric forms increases with the elevation of blood pressure. Concentric LVH is associated with the high rate of atrial fi brillation and heart failure.
