What are the risks of CABG in hypothyroid patients?
The risks of CABG in hypothyroid patients are poorly defined. In a meta-analysis of 55,000 subjects with CAD, those with subclinical hypothyroidism did not have an increase in total deaths, but the CAD mortality rate was increased, particularly in those with thyroid-stimulating hormone concentrations between 4.50 mIU/L to 19.9 mIU/L.
