to occur after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, the risk factors for new …

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is common among surgical patients and associated
with a worse outcome. Pathophysiology of POAF is not fully disclosed, and several …

Background Thyroid hormones act on the cardiovascular system directly by modulating its
function and indirectly by transcriptional regulation of gene expression in the heart and the …

Thyroid hormone plays an important role in cardiac electrophysiology and Ca2+ handling
through both genomic and nongenomic mechanisms of action, while both actions can …

Background: Although hyperthyroidism predisposes to atrial fibrillation, previous trials have
suggested decreased triiodothyronine (T< sub> 3</sub>) concentrations to be associated …

readmissions after surgery for head and neck cancer. Study Design Retrospective cohort …

BACKGROUND: Some studies have proposed that subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) has
adverse effects on the cardiovascular system, but little is known about the effect on patients …

Background There is strong clinical and experimental evidence that altered thyroid
