dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is a biochemical condition that is diagnosed when peripheral free thyroid hormone levels are within normal reference laboratory range but serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels are mildly elevated. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between SCH and arterial stiffness using two different non-invasive methods, including echocardiography and oscillometric arteriography. Material and Methods: The study included 33 newly diagnosed SCH patients and 34 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. Systolic and diastolic diameters and elastic parameters of the aorta were calculated by 2D Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Central blood pressure and aortic stiffness values of patient groups were measured noninvasively from the brachial artery using Mobil-O-Graph arteriography. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIx) were used as arterial stiffness indicators. Results: There was no significant difference between SCH and control groups with regard to age, gender, and body mass index (BMI). Aortic strain and aortic distensibility, were significantly lower in the SCH group than in the control group (p < 0.001). PWV and AIx which measured by Mobil-O-Graph arteriography were found to be significantly higher in the subclinical hypothyroid group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Aortic stiffness assessed by TTE and Mobil-O-Graph arteriography deteriorated in patients with SCH after excluding other cardiovascular risk factors. The assessment of aortic stiffness by the oscillometric method was easy and useful for widespread clinical use.en_US
