Abstract

The new echocardiographic techniques for the study of physiopathological intramyocardial phenomena include video densitometry (VD), integrated backscatter (IBS), and color Doppler myocardial imaging (CDMI). Being more independent from cardiac load and from rotational and translational heart motion, these new sensible, noninvasive techniques such as CDMI and IBS show a real incremental value in comparison with conventional echocardiography and allow to detect subtle functional and textural abnormalities of intramural myocardium, partially undetectable by conventional two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography. Subclinical thyroid dysfunction (STD), both in its hypo- and hyperthyroidism form, has a relatively high prevalence in general population (9-15% with a lower percentage of adult males), hence it could be very useful to study more deeply heart involvement in these physiopathological conditions and understand the complex relationship between thyroid and heart. The use of these new ultrasonic techniques in subclinical hypothyroidism helps to detect the early simultaneous involvement of both cardiac cycle phases, which causes a decrease of intramyocardial contractility and an impairment of both active and passive phases of diastole. In subclinical hyperthyroidism, these new ultrasonic techniques permitted to discover more complex and different early cardiac abnormalities of both systolic and diastolic phases.

Abstract

Iodine is the essential constituent of thyroid hormones. Iodine deficiency disorders, ranging from endemic goiter to cretinism, result from low dietary intake of iodine. The fetus and the newborn are more sensitive than adults to a reduced environmental iodine supply, and in iodine-deficient areas, transient neonatal hypothyroidism is frequently observed. This transient thyroid failure may be associated with neonatal goiter. Border-line elevated neonatal TSH levels frequently occur in iodine deficient areas, and result in a higher recalling rate in the screening for congenital hypothyroidism. Iodine prophylaxis is highly effective in preventing the development of iodine deficiency disorders including transient neonatal hypothyroidism. Since iodine prophylaxis in Italy is inadequate, variable degrees of iodine deficiency are still present all-over the Country, and are responsible of a higher incidence of transient neonatal hypothyroidism or hyperthyrotropinemia. Educational programs for the general population, health professionals, and decision makers are essential for a successful iodine prophylaxis. Elimination of iodine deficiency by the year 2000 has been recently pledged by WHO/UNICEF. This goal is feasible if pursued with sufficient vigor and resources.
