  Background: Previous studies have suggested that hypothyroidism correlated with coronary artery diseases (CAD) mortality in long-term cohort studies, but whether the thyroid function status is associated with myocardial injury in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has not been investigated sufficiently. Aim: We aimed to investigate whether the lower free triiodothyronine level in acute STEMI is associated with more severe myocardial injury. Methods: This was a prospective observation cohort study that was conducted from August 2016 to April 2017 and included 50 patients presented to the coronary care Unit in Al Mataryia teaching hospital with acute STEMI and treated with thrombolysis. All patients were subjected to complete clinical assessment, serial ECGs, Echo, full labs, thyroid hormones, cardiac biomark.. View More»
