title: [Lipid blood spectrum in patients with amiodarone associated hypothyroidism. Effect of replacement therapy with L-thyroxine].
abstract: Blood lipid levels were measured in 23 patients with amiodarone associated hypothyroidism (most of them had ischemic heart disease). Abnormalities of lipid spectrum were found in 12 of these patients. All 12 patients were subjected to replacement therapy with l-thyroxine. Compensation of thyroid status was associated with average 12.6 and 12.3% lowering of total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, respectively. However target levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol were achieved only in 1 patient. There were no significant changes of high density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides.
