Aortic elastic properties have been shown to be an important predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Hyperthyroidism was shown to be an important cause of impaired aortic elastic properties both due to the direct effect of the thyroid hormones on the aorta and also due to modulating effects of thyroid hormones on the vascular renin angiotensin system. However, there is no study investigating the aortic elastic properties in Graves's patients who were euthyroid. The goal of the present study was to investigate the aortic elastic properties of patients with Graves' Ophtalmopathy (GO) who had been euthyroid for at least 3 months.
