Abstract

Materials and Methods: This study was planned and carried out in The Department of Medicine M.G.M. Medical College and M.Y. Hospital Indore, patients with subclinical Hypothyroidism not taking any treatment and patients of overt hypothyroidism not taking treatment coming to the OPD.
Study Design: Observational Study.
Result: In normal subject, the mean Framingham score was 0.89 0.57%, while in subclinical hypothyroidism patients it was 1.78 1.4% mg/dL showing a higher mean Framingham score in subclinical hypothyroidism patients as compared to normal subjects and the difference was found to be statistically significant (P<0> hypothyroidism patients as compared to normal subjects and the difference came out to be statistically significant (P<0> Conclusion: Overt and subclinical hypothyroidism both are associated with increased cardiovascular risk indicated by the higher values of Framingham risk in these patients as compared to normal controls. Mean Framingham risk was 3.31 2.82% in overt hypothyroidism patients, 1.78 1.4% in subclinical hypothyroidism and 0.89 0.57% in normal controls all of which were statistically significant[P<0>
