From:Thyroid Research (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe heart is a major target organ for thyroid hormone action. Severe overt hypothyroidism can result in diastolic hypertension, lowered cardiac output, impaired left ventricular contractility and diastolic relaxation,...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 8, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground Disturbances in oxygen levels have been found to impair cardiac organogenesis. It is known that stem cells and differentiating cells may respond variably to hypoxic conditions, whereby hypoxia may enhance...
