Overactive thyroid glands put patients at increased risk for developing AF
Endocrine Today
Patients who did not show signs of hyperthyroidism, but had slightly overactive thyroid glands were at risk for atrial fibrillation, according to data presented at the Joint 15th International Congress of Endocrinology and 14th European Congress of Endocrinology Meeting. Using nationwide registries, Christian Selmer, M.D., a research fellow at Gentofte University Hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark, and colleagues, identified individual-level linkage among 525,100 patients (mean age, 51.7 years; 39.5 percent male) who consulted their general practitioner from 2000-2009.More
