Abstract

Background: Supraventricular tachyanythmias (SVT), especially ATRIAL FIBRILLATION, are among the most prevalent arrhythmias. ATRIAL FIBRILLATION could be found in patients with hyperthyroidism. The role of thyroid disorders in other supraventricular tachyarrythmias is not clear. Thus, this survey was designed to determine the relationship between serum TSH as the marker of thyroid function and supraventricular tachyanythmias in Shaheed Beheshti hospital in Zanjan.Materials and methods: This case-control study was conducted on 100patients with SVT including: ATRIAL FIBRILLATION, flutter, PSVT, MAT and atrial tachycardia, and 100 normal age and sex-matched controls. Serum TSH was measured by immunoradiometric assay and if revealed to be abnormal serum free T4 and free T3 were also measured by radioimmunoassay in the same laboratory centre. Data were analyzed by t-test and Chi-square test and odds ratios were calculated.Results: TSH abnormality was detected in 18% of patients and 7% of controls (p<0.05). Overt hyperthyroidism was detected in 9% of cases and 1% of controls (p<0.01). Differences between two groups for hypothyroidism and subclinical forms of thyroid dysfunctions were not statistically significant. Odd's ration for hypothyroidism in patients with AF was 2.6 and for hyperthyroidism in AF was 11. Odd's ratio for hyperthyroidism in PAVT was 8.5, but this ratio was not significant in general population. Conclusion: TSH abnonnality is more prevalent in SVT. In case of lack of suggestive symptoms or signs of thyroid dysfunction, we recommend THYROID FUNCTION TESTS only for patients with AF. For patients with PSVT further studies with greater sample size are recommended.
