Abstract:
Thyroid hormone levels were fourd to be changed significantly in 93 patients with heart failure. Their T3 and FT3 decreased, while rT3 increased. The severer heart failure, the more evident change in thyroid hormone. The results suggest that the change in thyroid hormones might be an index in reflecting the severity of heart failure.
