This study looks at whether giving thyroid hormone replacement to people with mild underactive thyroid (subclinical hypothyroidism) after heart bypass surgery improves their recovery. It is for adults who are scheduled for bypass surgery and have not recently used thyroid or anti-thyroid medications.
This study tests whether resistance training (strength exercises) can help people waiting for a heart transplant. It is for patients who have been on the transplant list for less than a month and are stable enough to exercise safely.
This trial tests whether a thyroid hormone medication (levothyroxine) can improve heart function in children who have slightly high TSH levels but normal thyroid hormones. It may help children aged 4 to 15 with subclinical hypothyroidism.
This trial tests whether Thymoglobulin® is safe and how well it works in people getting their first heart transplant. It may help doctors fine-tune medicines used to prevent the body from rejecting the new heart.
This study looks at whether having an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) soon after a kidney transplant might affect how well the new kidney works. If you had a kidney transplant at this center and had thyroid tests within the first month, researchers will review your records.
This trial tests whether taking a thyroid hormone supplement helps people who are on hemodialysis and have borderline-high thyroid lab results (high TSH but normal FT4). It’s studying whether treatment changes thyroid-related outcomes or health while on dialysis.
