Abstract

Thyroid dysfunction significantly impacts cardiovascular health, with both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism contributing to arrhythmias, heart failure, and atherosclerosis. This article reviews the pathophysiological mechanisms linking thyroid disorders (e.g., Graves’ disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis) to cardiovascular complications, emphasizing the role of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) in cardiac contractility, rhythm regulation, and vascular tone. Clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches (TSH, ECG, echocardiography), and management strategies (antithyroid drugs, β-blockers, hormone replacement) are discussed. Early detection and interdisciplinary care are critical to mitigating cardiovascular risks.
