“…Moreover, a causal relationship between SCH and CVD was plausible from a biological point of view. SCH has been found to be associated with some cardiovascular risk factors, including atrial fibrillation (3), hypertension (4), increased factor X activity (58), and levels of plasma von Willebrand factor (59), fibrinogen, and D-dimer (60). These abnormalities predisposed individuals with SCH to increased CVD risk.…”

Objectives: Whether subclinical hyperthyroidism (SCH) results in poor prognosis remains controversial. Our aim was to evaluate the association between SCH and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality by conducting a meta-analysis of cohort studies. Methods: The PubMed and Embase databases were searched through November 2011 to identify studies that met pre-stated inclusion criteria. Relevant information for analysis was extracted. Either a fixed or a random effects model was used to calculate the overall combined risk estimates. Results: Seventeen cohort studies were included in this meta-analysis. The overall combined relative risks for individuals with SCH compared with the reference group were 1.19 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.10 to 1.28) for CVD, 1.52 (95% CI: 1.08 to 2.13) for cardiovascular mortality, and 1.25 (95% CI: 1.00 to 1.55) for all-cause mortality. Subgroup analysis by sample source (community or convenience sample) showed that the significant association for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality only existed when pooling studies from convenience samples. Heterogeneity was observed when pooling studies on the association between SCH and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Sensitivity analysis showed omission of each individual study did not significantly change the pooled effects. No evidence of publication bias was observed. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that SCH significantly increased the risk of CVD for the general population and the risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality for the individuals with other morbidities.

“…It has also been reported that increased factor X activity in patients with subclinical hyperthyroidism represents a potential hypercoagulable state [4,8]. Rarely, it has also been reported intermittent changing axis deviation during atrial fibrillation [9][10][11] and during atrial flutter [7]. We present a case of paroxysmal atrial flutter and changing axis deviation associated with subclinical hyperthyroidism, in a 76-year-old Italian man.…”

“…It has been rarely reported intermittent changing axis deviation [1] also during atrial fibrillation [2] and also during atrial flutter [3]. Intermittent changing axis deviation during acute myocardial infarction [4][5][6][7] and changing axis deviation associated with atrial fibrillation and acute myocardial infarction too [8,9] have been also rarely reported.…”
