Thyroid hormone has direct effects on heart function, blood vessels and cholesterol levels
Thyroid hormone effects on the heart and peripheral vasculature include decreased SVR and increased resting heart rate, left ventricular contractility, and blood volume
Several heart rhythm disturbances can result from overstimulation of the thyroid
For people with almost any type of heart disease, disorders of the thyroid gland can worsen old cardiac symptoms or contribute to new
On the other hand, a resting heart rate below 60 beats per minute is called bradycardia, and can cause insufficient blood flow to the brain
The cardiac effects in thyroid hormones upregulate resting heart rate, blood volume, and myocardial contractility compared to normal
