Thyroid Hormone After Heart Bypass for Mild Underactive Thyroid
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 90 years old.
- You are scheduled for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, also known as heart bypass surgery.
- You have subclinical hypothyroidism – a mild underactive thyroid where your TSH level is slightly high (above 4) but your free T4 is normal.
- You have not taken thyroid hormone medication (levothyroxine) in the past 4 weeks.
- You have not taken antithyroid drugs (like propylthiouracil, methimazole, or carbimazole) in the past 3 months.
- You do not have a serious illness expected to shorten your life to less than one year, such as advanced cancer.

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 study looks at whether mild thyroid problems (subclinical hypothyroidism) affect liver enzymes and cholesterol levels. It may help people understand if treating mild thyroid issues could improve their liver and heart health.
This study tests whether giving a thyroid hormone supplement called levothyroxine before a heart transplant can help with recovery. It is for people already listed for a heart transplant who do not have thyroid problems.
This trial is testing whether thyroid hormone replacement after surgery is safe for people with low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. It may help maintain normal hormone levels after part of the thyroid is removed.
This study looks at whether measuring blood pressure in a new way (central BP) can help predict heart disease risk in people with mild underactive thyroid (subclinical hypothyroidism). It may help doctors better understand your heart health without extra tests.
This study checks if older adults with mild underactive thyroid can safely stop their low-dose thyroid medication. Participants will be monitored to see if their thyroid stays normal without the medicine.
