Heart Hypothyroid

Hypothyroidism is a disease that is associated with disruption of the thyroid gland and a decrease in its function. As a result of this process, the body produces less thyroid hormone, which can lead to various diseases. One such disease is **hypothyroid cardiomyopathy** (HCP), which is a heart disorder caused by hypothyroidism. This is a serious problem that can significantly impair a person's quality of life.

The heart is one of the organs that is most sensitive to a lack of thyroxine, the thyroid hormone. With HYPOTHYROSIS, the cardiovascular system undergoes serious changes. The most dangerous consequences can occur in the part of the heart responsible for its contraction, muscle contraction (myocardium) and the pumping function of the left ventricle. In addition, the heart rate gradually decreases, along with this, cardiac output decreases

Hypothyroidism is a disease associated with insufficient levels of thyroid hormones in the human body. As a result, a hypothyroid coma develops. It is characterized by a violation of all vital functions of the body: cardiovascular, nervous, digestive, respiratory, reproductive. Due to damage to the heart muscle, myxedematous cardiomyopathy occurs, which is one of the complications of thyrotoxic crisis.

Hypothyroid myxidema of the heart has a cardiotoxic effect on muscle tissue.
