    Abstract

    This prospective observational study conducted at Rajarajeswari Medical College and Hospital evaluated the electrocardiographic, ultrasound imaging of the neck, and echocardiographic manifestations in 65 hypothyroid patients over six months. The results indicated a high prevalence of cardiovascular abnormalities including bradycardia (40%), low voltage QRS complexes (25%), and diastolic dysfunction (35%), as well as thyroid structural changes such as glandular enlargement (60%) and nodularity (20%). These findings highlight the extensive impact of hypothyroidism on cardiovascular and thyroid health, underscoring the importance of comprehensive diagnostic evaluations in the management of this condition.
