    • Abstract:
      This study conducted in Baghdad focused on patients with coronary heart disease admitted to three hospitals. The study included 60 Iraqi patients with coronary heart disease and a control group of 30 healthy individuals. Blood samples were collected from both groups after fasting. The study analyzed the demographic characteristics of the patients and control group, including age groups, sex distribution, and BMI. The majority of patients had hypertension, while 58.33% had diabetes. The study found that IHD patients had significantly higher T3 and T4 levels compared to the control group. However, there was no significant difference in TSH levels. The study also examined thyroid function parameters among different age groups and found no significant differences in individuals with hypothyroidism. The highest prevalence of hyperthyroidism was among individuals with hypertension, while the highest spread of hypothyroidism was among individuals with diabetes. The study observed significant differences in mean HbA1c levels among the three groups, with the highest levels in patients with hypothyroidism. In conclusion, this study suggests potential alterations in thyroid function associated with ischemic heart disease and emphasizes the need for further research on the clinical implications and underlying mechanisms involved.
