    Abstract:
    Echocardiographic features in patients with autoimmune hypothyroidism have been described. Plasma levels of T3, T4 and TSH have been compared with the severity of the echocardiographic alterations. Echocardiography demonstrated abnormalities more frequently in patients with severe hypothyroidism. No pericardial effusion has been detected. We discuss the possible etiopathogenic mechanisms.
