    Hypothyroidism is caused by a decrease in thyroid hormone production, which leads to an increase in thyroid stimulating hormone and a decrease in tyroxine and triiodothyronine. This results in heart problems like decreased contractility and output, gastrointestinal issues like gastric stasis, reproductive issues such as delayed puberty and infertility, cholesterol abnormalities including increased LDL, and insulin resistance.

    Pathophysiology: Hypothyroidism

    Decrease in thyroid hormone

    Decrease production of Tyroxine (T4)

    Increase production TSH

    Increase secretion of Triidothyronine (T3)

    Heart: decreased contractility, cardiac enlargement, pericardial effusion, decreased pulse, and decreased cardiac output.

    GI tract: achlorhydria and decreased intestinal transit with gastric stasis can

    Delayed puberty, anovulation, menstrual irregularities, and infertility

    Increased levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and a possible change in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol

    Insulin resistance.
