pubmed:abstractText
Hypothyroidism is associated with increased morbidity from cardiovascular disease. The arterial stiffness index beta (stiffness beta) in the common carotid artery (CCA), which is a parameter of arterial stiffening, is known to increase in hypothyroid patients, while normalization of thyroid function for 1 year by levothyroxine (L-T(4)) replacement therapy significantly decreases CCA stiffness beta. Since serum C-reactive protein (CRP) has recently emerged as an independent factor for cardiovascular risk, the present study was designed to examine whether hypothyroidism causes an increase in CRP and whether the serum CRP level is correlated with CCA stiffness beta in hypothyroid patients.
