Prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors in patients with hypertension and subclinical hypothyroidism

It is known that the presence of overt hypothyroidism carries additional risks of developing cardiovascular diseases due to impaired lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. But whether subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) has the same negative impact is still controversial. The assessment of its role is espec...
