What harm does hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism have to the heart? 1, hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism is commonly known as hyperthyroidism. Pathological changes are excessive metabolism of thyroid hormone, the patient's blood pressure level rises, the heart beats faster, and the heart closes quickly, which increases the heart's demand for o2 and its blood, which easily leads to insufficient blood supply to the heart, and then leads to myocardial infarction or myocardial infarction. In addition, due to excessive metabolism of thyroid hormone, heart thickening and slow expansion of heart cavity, it is easy to lead to arrhythmia, such as sinus tachycardia or premature beats, which will increase the pressure on the heart for a long time and even cause chronic heart failure. Hyperthyroidism is mainly manifested as trembling hands, general weakness, palpitation and shortness of breath, abnormal upset and insomnia, overeating, weight loss, easy sweating and fear of high temperature, frequent defecation or diarrhea.
2. Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism is commonly known as hypothyroidism. The pathological change is that thyroid hormone metabolism is too little, which may weaken myocardial contractility, endanger the conversion and transmission of ECG theme activities, and cause slow heartbeat and sinus rhythm. Because the metabolism of lipid chemicals is damaged, blood lipids rise to a very high level, especially the gallbladder is solid. In the long run, pericardial effusion can be caused, and venous thrombosis can be transformed into heart failure. The symptoms are not obvious after the nail is relieved, and serious symptoms such as unsmooth skin, slow response, pale or sallow complexion, and mucinous edema will appear.
Warm reminder
Heart disease caused by hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism is reversible. As long as the doctor's advice is strictly followed, thyroid function will be restored and heart disease will be cured. But if left unchecked, it is likely to affect life due to chronic heart failure. Patients with hypothyroidism should go to the hospital to check their blood sugar every 6~ 12 months, and see a doctor as soon as possible if they have edema, obvious shortness of breath, palpitation, shortness of breath, chest pain and dyspnea. Some patients with hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism will have heart disease, such as rheumatic heart disease or myocardial infarction heart disease. And they need to return to the clinic on time to grasp the dynamic trend of the disease. Patients with chronic heart failure or arrhythmia should pay more attention to thyroid function.
