Review of Cardiovascular Manifestations of Hyperthyroidism: Main Triggered Heart Diseases and Clinical Implications
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Hyperthyroidism, a common endocrinological condition characterized by excess production of thyroid hormones, has profound and varied effects on the cardiovascular system. The thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), play essential roles in regulating basal metabolism and cardiovascular function
Objective: To provide a comprehensive understanding of the various cardiac complications associated with hyperthyroidism and their clinical implications. Methods: This study constitutes a systematic review, classified as exploratory and descriptive. The preparation of the research was a bibliographical search in electronic databases on methods associated with RSL (Systematic Literature Review) and the applications of SMARTER (Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique using Exploiting Rankings).
Results: A comprehensive systematic search of the literature yielded a total of 5689 articles referring to the incidence of obesity and overweight in adolescents, of which 20 articles were eligible to be included in this systematic review.
Conclusion: Continuous research and therapeutic innovation play vital roles in the evolution of the treatment of hyperthyroidism and its cardiovascular complications. The development of personalized approaches that consider the genetic and clinical particularities of each patient can significantly improve quality of life and reduce associated morbidity and mortality.
