Abstract

Thyroid hormones play an important role in many biological functions. They are involved in growth and development, in stimulation of metabolism and thermogenesis, and they have a permissive role for the actions of other hormones (Fig. 1). The effects of hyper- and hypo-thyroidism have marked clinical symptoms, in particular in relation to the cardiovascular system. In this contribution, the cardiac and vascular effects of triiodothyronine (T₃) as well as the development of T₃-induced cardiac hypertrophy will be discussed.
