Summary
In the recent study it was proved whether metabolic changes of the myocardium in hypo- and hyperthyroid patients can be verified by in-vivo phosphorous-31 nuclear magnetic spectroscopy. Furthermore, it was evaluated whether there was a diminished left ventricular function at rest at the same time. The spectroscopic results showed a diminished intermediate phosphorous energy metabolism mainly determined by creatine phosphate decrease in hypo- and hyperthyroid patients. These deviations, however, were quantitatively more marked in the hyperthyroid patients and were fully reversible under hormone substitution in hypothyroid patients. Despite the changes of energy metabolism no decrease of left ventricular function occurred at rest.
