- Abstract
Frequency of thyroid gland functional disturbances after introduction of iodine-containing radiographic contrast agents during coronary angiography was studied in 146 patients, residents of the zone of borderline iodine deficit. Frequency of thyroid pathology was high at baseline (39%). Functional state of the thyroid gland was assessed before and 1, 3, 6, 12 months after investigation. During first month after coronary angiography there were several new cases of thyrotoxicosis and hypothyroidism, as well as deterioration of preexisting functional disturbances of the thyroid. Patients with baseline pathology and functional disturbances of thyroid gland before conduction of coronary angiography should be included into risk group of development of iodine induced states.
