FUNDAMENTO: A obesidade derivada da deposição de gordura intra-abdominal tende a aumentar a produção de hormônios e citoquinas, piorando a sensibilidade a insulina e levando a disfunção endotelial. A hiperinsulinemia é considerada um fator de risco independente para doença isquêmica cardíaca e é uma causa de disfunção endotelial em indivíduos saudáveis. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o impacto de diferentes graus de resistência a insulina, medida pelo HOMA-IR (Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance), sobre a função endotelial de obesos, pacientes não diabéticos, sem história prévia de eventos cardiovasculares e diversos componentes da síndrome metabólica. MÉTODOS: Um total de 40 indivíduos obesos foi submetido a medidas antropométricas, pressão arterial de consultório, MAPA e exames laboratoriais, além de avaliação ultrassonográfica não invasiva da função endotelial. Os pacientes foram divididos em três grupos de acordo com o grau de resistência a insulina: pacientes com valores de HOMA-IR entre 0,590 e 1,082 foram incluídos no Grupo 1 (n = 13); entre 1,083 e 1,410 no Grupo 2 (n = 14); e entre 1,610 e 2,510 no Grupo 3 (n = 13). RESULTADOS: Encontramos uma diferença significativa na vasodilatação mediada por fluxo no Grupo 3 em relação ao Grupo 1 (9,2 ± 7,0 vs 18,0 ± 7,5 %, p = 0,006). Houve uma correlação negativa entre a função endotelial e insulina, HOMA-IR e triglicérides. CONCLUSÃO: Nosso estudo sugere que leves alterações nos níveis de resistência a insulina avaliada pelo HOMA-IR podem causar algum impacto sobre a função vasodilatadora do endotélio em indivíduos obesos não complicados com diferentes fatores de risco cardiovascular.

FUNDAMENTO: O acúmulo de gordura visceral é considerado o principal fator de risco para doenças cardiovasculares e metabólicas. OBJETIVO: Determinar a prevalência de obesidade visceral e avaliar sua associação com fatores de risco cardiovasculares em mulheres jovens do Estado de Pernambuco. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal, realizado com dados da "III Pesquisa Estadual de Saúde e Nutrição", envolvendo mulheres entre 25 e 36 anos. Avaliaram-se as variáveis: Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC), Circunferência da Cintura (CC), Razão Cintura-Estatura (RCE), Volume de Gordura Visceral (VGV) estimado por equação preditiva, Pressão Arterial Sistólica e Diastólica (PAS, PAD), Colesterol Total (CT), Triglicerídeo (TG), Glicemia de Jejum (GJ). RESULTADOS: Foram avaliadas 517 mulheres, com mediana de idade de 29 anos (27-32) e prevalência de obesidade visceral de 30,6%. Valores de IMC, PAS, PAD e TG foram superiores no grupo com obesidade visceral: IMC = 28,0 kg/m² (25,0 - 21,4) vs 23,9 kg/m² (21,5 - 26,4); PAS = 120,0 mmHg (110,0 - 130,0) vs 112,0 mmHg (100,0 - 122,0); PAD = 74 mmHg (70 - 80) vs 70 mmHg (63 - 80); TG = 156,0 mg/dL (115,0 - 203,2) vs 131,0 mg/dL (104,0 - 161,0), respectivamente, p < 0,01. Idade, PAS, PAD, TG e CT apresentaram correlação positiva e significante com o VGV: r = 0,171; 0,224; 0,163; 0,278; 0,124; respectivamente, p < 0,005. CONCLUSÃO: Verificou-se uma elevada prevalência de obesidade visceral, estando estatisticamente correlacionada a fatores de risco cardiovasculares.

FUNDAMENTO: Pacientes com talassemia major (TM) apresentam hemólise crônica e necessitam de transfusões sanguíneas egularmente que podem causar cardiomiopatia por sobrecarga de ferro e insuficiência cardíaca crônica. A hemocromatose é caracterizada por acúmulo excessivo de ferro nos tecidos; acometimento do coração é a principal causa de óbito em pacientes com talassemia. OBJETIVO: Avaliar as estruturas e a função cardíaca por meio de ecocardiografia com Doppler convencional e Doppler tecidual em pacientes com TM, sem evidência clínica de insuficiência cardíaca. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de estudo observacional prospectivo de 18 pacientes com TM que recebem transfusão sanguínea regularmente. Para avaliar, separadamente, os efeitos da anemia e da transfusão sanguínea, dois grupos controles pareados por gênero, idade, peso e altura foram incluídos: um com indivíduos saudáveis (Saudável, n = 18) e outro com pacientes com anemia por deficiência de ferro (Anemia, n = 18). Análise estatística foi realizada utilizando ANOVA seguida pelo teste de Tukey ou Kruskal-Wallis e teste de Dunn. RESULTADOS: As seguintes variáveis ecocardiográficas apresentaram valores significativamente mais elevados no grupo TM do que nos grupos Anemia e Saudável: índice de volume do átrio esquerdo (Saudável: 16,4 ± 6,08; Anemia: 17,9 ± 7,02; TM: 24,1 ± 8,30 cm/m); razão E/Em septal mitral (Saudável: 6,55 ± 1,60; Anemia: 6,74 ± 0,74; TM: 8,10 ± 1,31) e duração do fluxo reverso em veias pulmonares [Saudável: 74,0 (59,0-74,0); Anemia: 70,5 (67,0-74,0); TM: 111 (87,0-120) ms]. Arazão E/A mitral foi maior no grupo TM do que no grupo Anemia (Saudável: 1,80 ± 0,40; Anemia: 1,80 ± 0,24; TM: 2,03 ± 0,34). Não foram encontradas diferenças entre os grupos em variáveis estruturais do ventrículo esquerdo e em índices de função sistólica. CONCLUSÃO: A ecocardiografia com Doppler convencional e o Doppler tecidual permite que alterações na função diastólica do ventrículo esquerdo sejam identificadas em pacientes assintomáticos com talassemia major.

Background: Cerebral cholinergic transmission plays a key role in cognitive function and anticholinergic drugs are associated with impaired cognitive functions [1]. In the perioperative phase many substances with anticholinergic effects are administered and disturbed cholinergic transmission is a hypothetical cause of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Serum anticholinergic activity (SAA; pmol/ml) may be measured as a summary marker of anticholinergic activity in an individual patient's blood. We hypothesised that an increase in SAA from preoperatively to one week postoperatively is associated with POCD in elderly patients. Methods: Thirty-two patients aged >65 yrs undergoing elective major surgery under standardized general anaesthesia (thiopental, sevoflurane, fentanyl) were investigated. Cognitive functions were measured preoperatively and 7 days postoperatively using the extended version of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease - Neuropsychological Assessment Battery. POCD was defined as a postoperative decline >1 z-score in at least 2 cognitive domains. SAA was measured preoperatively and 7 days postoperatively at the time of cognitive testing. Results: 50% of the investigated patients developed POCD. There were no statistically significant differences between patients with and without POCD regarding age, education, baseline cognitive function, duration of anaesthesia, SAA preoperatively (median (range) 1.0 (0.3 to 5.0) vs 1.5 (0.4 to 5.0), SAA 7 days postoperatively (median (range) 1.3 (0.1 to 7.0) vs 1.4 (0.6 to 5.5) or changes in SAA (median (range) 0.1 (-1.6 to 2.2) vs 0.2 (-1.4 to 2.8). The variability of SAA in individual patients was considerable and marked changes in SAA between the two examinations were observed in some patients. However, there was no significant relationship between changes in SAA and changes in cognitive function. Conclusion: In this preliminary analysis of a small group of patients, changes in SAA in the perioperative phase were highly variable. SAA was not associated with POCD suggesting that POCD is not simply caused by anticholinergic medications administered in the perioperative phase. A further analysis of a larger group of patients is in progress.

OBJECTIVES: : To evaluate the outcome after Hartmann's procedure (HP) versus primary anastomosis (PA) with diverting ileostomy for perforated left-sided diverticulitis. BACKGROUND: : The surgical management of left-sided colonic perforation with purulent or fecal peritonitis remains controversial. PA with ileostomy seems to be superior to HP; however, results in the literature are affected by a significant selection bias. No randomized clinical trial has yet compared the 2 procedures. METHODS: : Sixty-two patients with acute left-sided colonic perforation (Hinchey III and IV) from 4 centers were randomized to HP (n = 30) and to PA (with diverting ileostomy, n = 32), with a planned stoma reversal operation after 3 months in both groups. Data were analyzed on an intention-to-treat basis. The primary end point was the overall complication rate. The study was discontinued following an interim analysis that found significant differences of relevant secondary end points as well as a decreasing accrual rate (NCT01233713). RESULTS: : Patient demographics were equally distributed in both groups (Hinchey III: 76% vs 75% and Hinchey IV: 24% vs 25%, for HP vs PA, respectively). The overall complication rate for both resection and stoma reversal operations was comparable (80% vs 84%, P = 0.813). Although the outcome after the initial colon resection did not show any significant differences (mortality 13% vs 9% and morbidity 67% vs 75% in HP vs PA), the stoma reversal rate after PA with diverting ileostomy was higher (90% vs 57%, P = 0.005) and serious complications (Grades IIIb-IV: 0% vs 20%, P = 0.046), operating time (73 minutes vs 183 minutes, P < 0.001), hospital stay (6 days vs 9 days, P = 0.016), and lower in-hospital costs (US $16,717 vs US $24,014) were significantly reduced in the PA group. CONCLUSIONS: : This is the first randomized clinical trial favoring PA with diverting ileostomy over HP in patients with perforated diverticulitis.

Background: Inadequate intraoperative cerebral perfusion has been suggested as a possible cause of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Methods: We investigated 35 patients aged 65 or older undergoing elective major non-cardiac surgery under standardized general anaesthesia (thiopental, sevoflurane, fentanyl, atracurium). Intraoperative cerebral perfusion was monitored with transcranial Doppler, and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Arterial blood pressure was monitored continuously with a Finapres device. Mx, an index allowing continuous monitoring of cerebrovascular autoregulation based on the changes in mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and cerebral blood flow velocity was calculated. Mx >0.5 was defined as disturbed cerebrovascular autoregulation. Cognitive function was measured preoperatively and 7 days postoperatively using the CERAD-NAB Plus test battery. A postoperative decline >1 z-score in at least two of the tested domains was defined as POCD. Data are shown as mean } SD. Results: Mean age was 75 } 7 yrs. Sixteen patients (46%) developed POCD. These patients were older (77 } 8 vs 73 } 7 yrs), had lower MAP (77 } 12 vs 81 } 11 mm Hg), lower cerebral tissue oxygenation indices measured by NIRS (66.8 } 6.0 vs 68.6 } 4.3%) and less efficient cerebrovascular autoregulation (Mx 0.54 } 0.17 and 0.44 } 0.22) than patients without POCD. Disturbed intraoperative cerebrovascular autoregulation was found more often (56 vs 37%) in patients with POCD. However, none of these differences reached statistical significance. Conclusions: Our data show a trend towards subtle changes in intraoperative cerebral perfusion in elderly patients who develop POCD. However, a cause effect relationship must not be assumed and a greater number of patients needs to be investigated patients. However, more patients need to be investigated to confirm and characterize these differences.

Introduction: Statin use for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia in women of childbearing age is increasingly common. However, published data on pregnancy outcome after exposure to statins are scarce and conflicting. This contribution addresses the safety of exposure to statins during pregnancy.Method: In a multi-center (n = 11) observational, prospective study we compared the outcomes of 249 women exposed during the 1st trimester of pregnancy to simvastatin (n = 124), atorvastatin (n = 67), pravastatin (n = 32), rosuvastatin (n = 18), fluvastatin (n = 7) or cerivastatin (n = 1) with a control group exposed to agents known to be non-teratogenic (n = 249). The data were collected by members of the European Network of Teratology Information Services (ENTIS) during individual risk counseling between 1990 and 2009. Standardized procedures for data collection were used in each center.Results: The difference in the rate of major birth defects between the statin-exposed group and the control group was not statistically significant (4.0% vs. 2.7% OR 1.5; 95% CI 0.5-4.5, P = 0.44). The crude rate of spontaneous abortions (12.8% vs. 7.1%, OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.0-3.6, P = 0.04) was higher in the exposed group. However, after adjustment to maternal age and gestational age at initial contact, the difference became statistically insignificant. The rate of elective pregnancy-termination (8.8% vs. 4.4%, P = 0.05) was higher and the rate of deliveries resulting in live births was significantly lower in the statin exposed group (77.9% vs. 88.4%, P = 0.002). Prematurity was more frequent in exposed pregnancies (16.1% vs. 8.5%; OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.1-3.8, P = 0.02). Nonetheless, gestational age at birth (median 39 weeks, IQR 37-40 vs. 39 weeks, IQR 38-40, P = 0.27) and birth weight (median 3280 g, IQR 2835-3590 vs. 3250 g, IQR 2880-3600, P = 0.95) did not differ between exposed and non-exposed pregnancies.Conclusion: This study did not detect a clear teratogenic effect of statins. Its statistical power however is not sufficient to reverse the recommendation of treatment discontinuation during pregnancy. At most, the results are reassuring in case of inadvertent exposure.

BACKGROUND: Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are life-threatening complications in patients with hemato-oncological malignancies, and early diagnosis is crucial for outcome. The compound 1,3-β-D-glucan (BG), a cell wall component of most fungal species, can be detected in blood during IFI. Four commercial BG antigenemia assays are available (Fungitell, Fungitec-G, Wako, and Maruha). This meta-analysis from the Third European Conference on Infections in Leukemia (ECIL-3) assessed the performance of BG assays for the diagnosis of IFI in hemato-oncological patients. METHODS: Studies reporting the performance of BG antigenemia assays for the diagnosis of IFI (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer and Mycoses Study Group criteria) in hemato-oncological patients were identified. The analysis was focused on high-quality cohort studies with exclusion of case-control studies. Meta-analysis was performed by conventional meta-analytical pooling and bivariate analysis. RESULTS: Six cohort studies were included (1771 adult patients with 414 IFIs of which 215 were proven or probable). Similar performance was observed among the different BG assays. For the cutoff recommended by the manufacturer, the diagnostic performance of the BG assay in proven or probable IFI was better with 2 consecutive positive test results (diagnostic odds ratio for 2 consecutive vs one single positive results, 111.8 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 38.6-324.1] vs 16.3 [95% CI, 6.5-40.8], respectively; heterogeneity index for 2 consecutive vs one single positive results, 0% vs 72.6%, respectively). For 2 consecutive tests, sensitivity and specificity were 49.6% (95% CI, 34.0%-65.3%) and 98.9% (95% CI, 97.4%-99.5%), respectively. Estimated positive and negative predictive values for an IFI prevalence of 10% were 83.5% and 94.6%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Different BG assays have similar accuracy for the diagnosis of IFI in hemato-oncological patients. Two consecutive positive antigenemia assays have very high specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. Because sensitivity is low, the test needs to be combined with clinical, radiological, and microbiological findings.

Background: Mucosal healing in ulcerative colitis (UC) is reported to be associated with favourable clinical outcomes such as reduced hospitalization and surgery rates. Activity monitoring by endoscopy has its shortcomings due to invasiveness, costs, and potential patient discomfort. Data on the correlation of noninvasive biomarkers with endoscopic severity in UC are scarce. Aim: to evaluate the correlation between endoscopic activity according to the modified Baron Index and fecal calprotectin, C-reactive protein (CRP), blood leukocytes, and the Lichtiger Index (clinical score). Methods: UC patients with leftsided and extensive colitis undergoing complete colonoscopy were prospectively enrolled and scored clinically and endoscopically. Fecal and blood samples were analyzed in UC patients (in a blinded fashion) and controls. The modified Baron score describes the following 5 endoscopic conditions: 0 = normal, 1 = granular mucosa, edema, 2 = friable mucosa but no spontaneous bleeding, 3 = microulcerations with spontaneous bleeding, 4 = gross ulceration, denuded mucosa. Results: We enrolled 228 UC patients (mean age 41 ± 13 years, 39 female) and 52 healthy controls. Disease was located in 40% in the left colon, 21% had an extensive and 39% a pancolitis. Endoscopic disease activity correlated best with fecal calprotectin (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient r = 0.821), followed by the Lichtiger Index (r = 0.682), CRP (r = 0.556), and blood leukocytes (r = 0.401). Fecal calprotectin was the only marker that could discriminate between different grades of endoscopic activity (grade 0, 25 ± 11 μg/g; grade 1, 44 ± 34 μg/g; grade 2, 111 ± 74 μg/g; grade 3, 330 ± 332 μg/g; grade 4, 659 ± 319 μg/g; P = 0.002 for discriminating grade 0 vs. 1, and P < 0.001 for discriminating grade 1 vs. 2, grade 2 vs. 3, and grade 3 vs. 4). Fecal calprotectin had the highest overall accuracy (91%) to detect endoscopically active disease (modified Baron Index ≥ 2), followed by the Lichtiger Index score of ≥ 4 (77%), CRP > 5 mg/L (69%) and blood leukocytosis (58%). Conclusions: Fecal calprotectin better correlated with endoscopic disease activity than clinical activity, CRP, and blood leukocytes. The strong correlation with endoscopic disease activity suggests that FC represents a useful biomarker for noninvasive monitoring of disease activity in UC patients.

Introduction: Des unités d'attente de placement ont vu le jour pour¦répondre à la pénurie de lits d'hébergement de long séjour dans le¦Canton de Vaud et désengorger les hôpitaux aigus. Pour les patients¦qui y sont admis, la décision de placement intervient au sortir d'une¦hospitalisation aiguë, laissant peu de temps à la personne pour¦cheminer face à cette décision. Cette étude pilote vise à investiguer¦le degré de sérénité de ces patients face à l'hébergement de longue¦durée et déterminer s'il existe une relation avec la durée d'attente ou¦le décès en unité d'attente.¦Population et méthode: Personnes âgées (N = 78) admises dans¦une structure d'attente et préparation à l'hébergement de longue¦durée après un séjour hospitalier aigu. Des données démographiques,¦fonctionnelles, cognitives et affectives ont été récoltées dans les 4¦semaines après l'admission. La sérénité ressentie face à l'hébergement¦longue durée a été évaluée à l'aide d'une échelle de type Likert à¦quatre niveaux (pas du tout/plutôt pas/plutôt/tout à fait serein).¦Résultats: Les patients étaient âgés de 85.6 ans en moyenne, 74%¦(58/78) étaient des femmes, 47% (37/78) avaient des troubles cognitifs¦et 35% (27/78) des troubles dépressifs. Globalement 24% (19/78)¦des patients se déclaraient peu ou pas du tout sereins face au¦placement. Comparés aux patients sereins, ces 19 patients étaient¦significativement (p <.05) moins âgés (83.2 ± 1.0 vs 86.8 ± 6.5 ans),¦plus dépendants dans les activités de la vie quotidienne (BAVQ 2.5 ±¦1.7 vs 3.5 ± 1.6), plus déprimés (GDS 15-items 7.0 ± 3.5 vs 4.4 ± 3.0),¦et avaient plus souvent des antécédents de chutes (95% vs 75%). En¦analyse multivariée, le manque de sérénité restait significativement¦associé à une dépendance plus élevée dans les BAVQ, à un score¦GDS plus élevé ainsi qu'aux antécédents de chute. Il n'y avait pas de¦différence significative en termes de durée moyenne de séjour avant le¦placement (90.0 ± 57.3j vs 87.8 ± 73.2, médianes 85 vs 57, P = .45), ni¦de mortalité dans l'unité d'attente (5% vs 5%) entre les deux groupes¦de patients.¦Conclusion: Près d'un quart des patients en unité d'attente se¦déclarent peu sereins face à la perspective du placement. Ces patients¦sont plus dépendants, ont des antécédents de chutes et sont plus¦déprimés, ce qui souligne l'importance d'une identification précoce de¦ces patients afin de leur offrir un soutien dans cette période difficile de¦transition dans leur parcours de vie.

To compare in the Swiss population the results of several scores estimating the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This was a single-center, cross-sectional study conducted between 2003 and 2006 in Lausanne, Switzerland. Overall, 3,251 women and 2,937 men, aged 35-75 years, were assessed, of which 5,760 (93%) were free from diabetes and included in the current study. The risk of developing type 2 diabetes was assessed using seven different risk scores, including clinical data with or without biological data. Participants were considered to be eligible for primary prevention according to the thresholds provided for each score. The results were then extrapolated to the Swiss population of the same sex and age. The risk of developing type 2 diabetes increased with age in all scores. The prevalence of participants at high risk ranged between 1.6 and 24.9% in men and between 1.1 and 15.7% in women. Extrapolated to the Swiss population of similar age, the overall number of participants at risk, and thus susceptible to intervention, ranged between 46,708 and 636,841. In addition, scores that included the same clinical variables led to a significantly different prevalence of participants at risk (4.2% [95% CI 3.4-5.0] vs. 12.8% [11.5-14.1] in men and 2.9% [2.4-3.6] vs. 6.0% [5.2-6.9] in women). CONCLUSIONS; The prevalence of participants at risk for developing type 2 diabetes varies considerably according to the scoring system used. To adequately prevent type 2 diabetes, risk-scoring systems must be validated for each population considered.

Introducció. La cirurgia de càncer de mama està associada a morbiditat de l’extremitat superior (ES) tributària de prevenció i de tractament rehabilitador. Objectius: Identificar la morbiditat de l’ES després de limfadenectomia axil·lar (LA) o biòpsia selectiva del gangli sentinella (BSGS); el moment del diagnòstic i quan és tributaria de tractament rehabilitador. Estudiar la relació d’aquesta morbiditat amb variables clíniques periquirúrgiques. Material i mètodes. Estudi longitudinal descriptiu amb 2 anys seguiment. Es recolliren les variables edat, pes, talla, tipus de tractament quirúrgic, complicacions peri-quirúrgiques, alteracions de l’espatlla, limfedema, dolor neuropàtic, lesions neurològiques i la indicació de tractament rehabilitador per aquestes alteracions. Les relacions es van estudiar amb t-test o ji quadrat, amb significació p& 0,05 Resultats: Es van incloure 312 pacients. Van requerir tractament rehabilitador 133 (42,6%) pacients, 81 (26,0%) per alteracions de l’espatlla, 63 (20,2%) per limfedema, 21 (6,7%) per dolor neuropàtic, i 9 (2.9%) per escàpula alada. Es van determinar relacions significatives de limfedema amb LA (p=0.000); les alteracions de l’espatlla amb les complicacions periquirúrgiques (p=0.04); dolor neuropàtic amb edat més jove (p=0.004); i l’escàpula alada amb hematoma (p=0.000). Més del 70% dels diagnòstics i tractaments de l’espatlla i limfedema es van realitzar durant el primer any de seguiment. Conclusions: Van requerir tractament rehabilitador 42.6% de pacients. Les alteracions de l’espatlla i el limfedema varen ser les més freqüentment tractades. La majoria de diagnòstics i tractament s’efectuaren durant el primer any de seguiment.

BACKGROUND: Subclinical hypothyroidism has been associated with systolic and diastolic cardiac dysfunction and an elevated cholesterol level, but data on cardiovascular outcomes and death are limited. METHODS: We studied 2730 men and women, aged 70 to 79 years, with baseline thyrotropin (TSH) measurements and 4-year follow-up data to determine whether subclinical hypothyroidism was associated with congestive heart failure (CHF), coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, and cardiovascular-related and total mortality. After the exclusion of participants with abnormal thyroxine levels, subclinical hypothyroidism was defined as a TSH level of 4.5 mIU/L or greater, and was further classified according to TSH levels (4.5-6.9, 7.0-9.9, and > or = 10.0 mIU/L). RESULTS: Subclinical hypothyroidism was present in 338 (12.4%) of the participants. Compared with euthyroid participants, CHF events occurred more frequently among those with a TSH level of 7.0 mIU/L or greater (35.0 vs 16.5 per 1000 person-years; P = .006), but not among those with TSH levels between 4.5 and 6.9 mIU/L. In multivariate analyses, the risk of CHF was higher among those with high TSH levels (TSH of 7.0-9.9 mIU/L: hazard ratio, 2.58 [95% confidence interval, 1.19-5.60]; and TSH of > or = 10.0 mIU/L: hazard ratio, 3.26 [95% confidence interval, 1.37-7.77]). Among the 2555 participants without CHF at baseline, the hazard ratio for incident CHF events was 2.33 (95% confidence interval, 1.10-4.96; P = .03) in those with a TSH of 7.0 mIU/L or greater. Subclinical hypothyroidism was not associated with increased risk for coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, or cardiovascular-related or total mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Subclinical hypothyroidism is associated with an increased risk of CHF among older adults with a TSH level of 7.0 mIU/L or greater, but not with other cardiovascular events and mortality. Further investigation is warranted to assess whether subclinical hypothyroidism causes or worsens preexisting heart failure.
