About this study

The goal of this observational study is knowledge of Prevalence of throid abnormalities in patients with acute coronary syndrome And prognostic effects of thyroid abnormalities in patients with acute coronary syndrome as early detection and management of thyroid abnormalities can improve clinical outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is an umbrella term used to describe a range of conditions associated with sudden, reduced blood flow to the heart. ACS includes conditions such as: Unstable Angina, Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) And ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). The morbidity and mortality due to ACS are substantial-nearly half of all deaths due to coronary heart disease occur following an ACS .

Thyroid abnormalities, particularly hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, are relatively common in patients with ACS. Studies indicate that thyroid dysfunction can affect cardiovascular health, influencing the risk and prognosis of ACS. Reports suggest prevalence rates of Hypothyroidism 10-20% and Hyperthyroidism range from 1-5% in ACS patients .

Hypothyroidism is associated with elevated cholesterol levels, increased vascular stiffness, and heightened inflammation, can lead to reduced cardiac output and heart rate and increased incidence of heart failure and arrhythmias. all of which can exacerbate coronary artery disease and contributing to worse outcomes during ACS event. Hypothyroid patients often have a slower recovery and poorer response to standard ACS treatments, including thrombolytics and antiplatelet therapy.

Hyperthyroidism raises heart rate and contractility, leading to increased myocardial oxygen demand, which can worsen ischemia during ACS, Patients are more susceptible to arrhythmias, which can complicate ACS and lead to higher morbidity and mortality, Hyperthyroidism can cause vascular endothelial dysfunction, increasing the risk of thrombotic events during ACS and Patients may respond differently to standard ACS therapies, necessitating careful monitoring and potential adjustment of treatment strategies.

Patients with concurrent thyroid dysfunction often experience higher morbidity and mortality rates, So thyroid function should be routinely assessed in ACS patients, as early detection and management of thyroid abnormalities can improve clinical outcomes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thyroid Dysfunction, run by Assiut University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Heba Badran (01143563225, Heba.16266016@med.aun.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of thyroid abnormalities in patients with acute coronary syndrome . (time frame: 1/9/2024-1/10/2025). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Sep 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
