Brain death may induce myocardial contractile dysfunction and hypothyroidism. This myocardial dysfunction is a limiting factor when considering donor heart for transplantation. Myocardial damage has shown to be the mechanism in which contractile dysfunction is established in donors. On the other hand, hypothyroidism has been evoked as a major cause of cardiovascular disorders in brain dead subjects. It is not known whether any relationship exists between hypothyroidism and myocardial damage that appear in brain death. In this study myocardial damage and thyroid status are quantified in a donor population, and whether a correlation between hypothyroidism and myocardial damage exists is analyzed.
