Does altered thyroid hormone status affect resting systolic blood pressure significantly in premenopausal women? - A cross-sectional comparative study.

This document presents the results of a study on the relationship between thyroid hormone status and blood pressure. The study divided participants into three groups: hypothyroid patients, hyperthyroid patients, and healthy controls. The study found that resting systolic blood pressure was significantly higher in hyperthyroid patients compared to the other groups. The study suggests that elevated levels of thyroid hormone can increase cardiac output, leading to higher blood pressure. The study concludes that maintaining normal thyroid hormone levels is important for preventing the negative effects of elevated blood pressure. [Extracted from the article]
