                            <p>Amaç: Bu çalışmada. subklinik hipotiroidili hastalarda aortun elastikiyet özellikleri ve bunların sol ventrikül diyastolik fonksiyonu ile ilişkileri transtorasik ekokardiyografik metod ile araştırıldı. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Transtorasik ekokardiyografi yapılarak aortun elastikiyet parametreleri olarak aortik strain. beta indeksi ve distensibilite indeksine bakıldı. Bulgular: Kontrol grubu ve subklinik hipotiroidili hasta grubu arasında aortik strain (sırasıyla %9.45’e karşı %5.79. p &amp;lt; 0.001) ve distensibilite (4.64’e karşı 3.02 10-3.cm2.dyn-1. p &amp;lt; 0.005) yönünden anlamlı farklar vardı. Subklinik hipotiroidi grubunda mitral erken diyastolik akım hızı (E) ortalaması (p &amp;lt; 0.05). mitral diyastolik akım hızı/ mitral geç diyastolik akım hızı (E/A) (p &amp;lt; 0.01) kontrol grubu ortalamasına göre anlamlı olarak düşük. mitral geç diyastolik akım hızı ortalaması (A) ve izovolümetrik relaksasyon zamanı ( IVRZ) (p &amp;lt; 0.05) kontrol grubu ortalamasına göre yüksek bulundu. Sonuç: Subklinik hipotiroidili hastalarda aortik stiffness’de artış gözlenmektedir. Subklinik hipotiroidili hastalarda gözlenen diyastolik fonksiyon bozukluğundan esas olarak aortik stiffness artışı sorumlu olabilir.</p></trans-abstract>

In the subclinicalhypothyroidism group the average mitral early diastolic velocity(E). (p &amp;lt;0.05) were significantly lower than the mean mitraldiastolic flow velocity / mitral late diastolic flow velocity (E / A)(p &amp;lt;0.01) observed in the control group. and higher than the meanmitral late diastolic flow velocity (A) and isovolumetric relaxationtime (IVRT) (P &amp;lt;0.05) in the control group.Conclusions: In patients with subclinical hypothyroidisman increase in the aortic stiffness was observed. The diastolicdysfunction observed in subclinical hypothyroidism is mainlyresponsible for the increase in the aortic stiffness.Keywords: Aortic stiffness. Subclinical hypothyroidism.
