Thyroid function is associated with presence and severity of coronary
atherosclerosis.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14677810
Excerpt: Higher levels of [T3] hormone concentrations were associated with
decreased severity of coronary atherosclerosis. Higher levels of [TSH]
concentrations were associated with increased severity of coronary atherosclerosis.
But let’s take it even one step further… There are also studies, like the next one,
demonstrating that thyroid hormone levels are the most important predictor of death
from heart disease. This means that the more hypothyroid you are or become, the
greater your chance of dying from heart disease.

A Low fT3 Level as a Prognostic Marker in Patients with Acute Myocardial
Infarctions.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23124142
Excerpt: Us ing a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model, the fT3 level was
found to be the most important predictor of cumulative death and MACE. A Kaplan-
Meier analysis revealed that those patients with low fT3 levels had higher rates of
MACE and death. Conclusion: A low fT3 level, a common phenomenon in patients
with acute myocardial infarctions, is a strong predictor of short-term and long-term
poor prognoses in patients with acute myocardial infarctions.
Even if you’re one of the millions who haven’t been properly diagnosed by the poor
medical testing available today, research has shown that sub-clinical or undiagnosed
hypothyroidism results in the same increased risk of heart disease and death.

Impact of subclinical thyroid disorders on coronary heart disease,
cardiovascular and all-cause mortality: a meta-analysis.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17434631
CONCLUSION: The present meta-analysis indicates that sub-clinical
hypothyroidism is associated with both, a significant risk of CHD [Coronary Heart
Disease] at baseline and at follow-up. In addition, mortality from cardiovascular
causes is significantly higher at follow-up.
