BACKGROUND: There is an association between hyperthyroidism and pulmonary hypertension. However, the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension in hyperthyroidism and the underlying mechanisms are incompletely defined.
METHODS: Consecutive patients with severe hyperthyroidism, mostly due to Graves disease, were included in this single-center study. Echocardiographic assessment of pulmonary hemodynamics was performed at the time of hyperthyroidism diagnosis (baseline) and after normalization of thyroid hormones (follow-up; median 11 months). In a subset of patients, right heart catheterization and noninvasive assessment of central hemodynamics was performed.
RESULTS: Among all 99 patients, 31% had pulmonary hypertension at baseline. The estimated systolic pulmonary artery pressure correlated significantly with the estimated left ventricular filling pressure (E/e'). The invasively measured systolic pulmonary artery pressure correlated well with the estimated systolic pulmonary artery pressure. Cardiac output, E/e', left and right ventricular dimensions were significantly reduced from baseline to follow-up, whereas the estimated pulmonary vascular resistance did not differ. Diastolic blood pressure was significantly higher at follow-up, with no change in systolic blood pressure. The central systolic blood pressure, however, exhibited a trend for a reduction at follow-up, while the pulse wave velocity was significantly lower at follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: Approximately one-third of patients with hyperthyroidism have evidence of pulmonary hypertension. Our data suggest that an increased cardiac output and left ventricular filling pressure are the main mechanisms underlying the elevated systolic pulmonary artery pressure in hyperthyroidism, whereas there is no evidence of significant pulmonary vascular disease.
