Thyroid / Cardiac correllation?

Posted By John on May 26, 1999 at 11:36:18
I read down below that there seems to be a correllation between thyroid disease and Cardiac disease? I was wondering what these correllations were? No one in my family has ever had hypothyrodism and I've been diagnosed with it. I'm on .05 of Synthroid, but, have lost my father to blocked and hardning of the arteries at an early age (54). I'm know 31 and do suffer from anxiety palpitations and occasinal chest pain ( at least I hope its due to anxiety )I've had 2 ekg's done in the last 2 years and they were both normal. I'm wondering if there is any information I can find on this correllation.
