| Popis: | Introduction: Low Triiodothyronine (T3) syndrome is a hormonal imbalance that significantly influences cardiovascular haemodynamics by altering the vascular endothelial function by influencing the Nitric Oxide (NO) production. In Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) inflammation disrupts plaque which stimulates thrombosis, coagulation, activation of sympathetic system and release of cytokines mainly Interleukin 6 (IL-6), which is a pleotropic and pro-inflammatory cytokine, which exerts inhibitory effect on thyroid axis function. Aim: To study the association of low T3 syndrome and severity of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in ACS. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Intensive Critical Care Unit (ICCU)under the Department of Cardiology, Karnataka institute of Medical Sciences, Hubli, Karnataka, India, from July 2021 to August 2022. A total of 120 consecutive ACS patients were taken for the study and all underwent Coronary Angiography (CAG). Severity of CAD was assessed with the help of Gensini risk scoring system. The patients were divided based on thyroid function status. Low T3 syndrome was defined as |
