Subclinical hypothyroidism is characterized by raised thyroid-stimulating hormone levels in the presence of normal free thyroxine levels. When free thyroxine levels are normal and subclinical hypothyroidism is present, thyroid-stimulating hormone levels are elevated. The impact of subclinical hypothyroidism on the cardiovascular system has recently garnered attention because it is known that thyroid hormones impact the heart and its vasculature. There is compelling evidence linking subclinical hypothyroidism to increased cardiac risks, including changes in blood pressure and cholesterol. It is unclear whether subclinical hypothyroidism is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular illnesses. In addition to discussing the advantages of levothyroxine therapy in delaying the onset of cardiovascular complications, this review makes the connection between subclinical hypothyroidism patients and the risk of cardiovascular complications-related death.
