Abstract
Hyperthyroidism, hypertension and chronic kidney disease have been associated with cardiac dysfunction. The cardiovascular signs and symptoms of these factors are a constellation of abnormalities that includes increase in afterload, left ventricular hypertrophy, systolic and diastolic dysfunction. An increase in LV wall stress will stimulate remodelling of the myocardium with a disproportionate increase in fibrous tissue and is a strong risk factor for congestive heart failure.
