Thyroid hormones (THs) are synthesized in the thyroid gland, and they circulate in the blood to regulate cells, tissues, and organs in the body. In particular, they exert several effects on the cardiovascular system. It is well known that THs raise the heart rate and cardiac contractility, improve the systolic and diastolic function of the heart, and decrease systemic vascular resistance. In the past 30 years, some researchers have studied the molecular pathways that mediate the role of TH in the cardiovascular system, to better understand its mechanisms of action. Two types of mechanisms, which are genomic and non-genomic pathways, underlie the effects of THs on cardiomyocytes. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of the action of THs in the cardiac function, the clinical manifestation and parameters of their hemodynamics, and treatment principles for patients with hyperthyroid- or hypothyroid-associated heart disease. We also describe the cardiovascular drugs that induce thyroid dysfunction and explain the mechanism underlying the thyroid toxicity of amiodarone, which is considered the most effective antiarrhythmic agent. Finally, we discuss the recent reports on the involvement of thyroid hormones in the regulation of myocardial regeneration and metabolism in the adult heart.

The effect of diabetes on cardiac function was determined in isolated rat hearts. Diabetes was induced by injection of alloxan (doses ranged from 37.5 to 60 mg/kg body wt), and the heart were removed and perfused in the working heart preparation. Doses of alloxan ranging from 37.5 to 42 mg/kg did not consistently alter cardiac function even though serum glucose was elevated and serum thyroid hormones were reduced. Injection of 45 mg/kg of alloxan caused a large increase in serum glucose and a larger decrease in thyroid hormones. In this case, ventricular function was more consistently depressed after 1-2 wk. Function was not altered 48 h after injection of 60 mg kg of alloxan. However, when animals were given 60 mg/kg of alloxan and then maintained on insulin for 7 days, depressed cardiac function developed within 4 days after the insulin treatment was stopped. The decline in function involved a decrease in heart rate peak systolic pressure, and left ventricular +dP/dt. It was associated with greatly reduced serum thyroid hormones (both T3 and T4) and lower ventricular Ca2+-activated myosin ATPase activity. Fasting of rats for 4 days also resulted in decreased serum T3 and T4, depressed cardiac function (although heart rate was unchanged), and lower Ca2+-activated myosin ATPase activity.

The upregulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a primary cause of cardiomyocyte apoptosis in diabetes cardiomyopathy (DCM). Mitofusin-2 (Mfn-2) is a key protein that bridges the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-mediated cardioprotection is related to antioxidant effects. The present study demonstrated that H2S inhibited the interaction between the ER and mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. This study investigated cardiac function, ultrastructural changes in the ER and mitochondria, apoptotic rate using TUNEL, and the expression of ER stress-associated proteins and mitochondrial apoptotic proteins in cardiac tissues in STZ-induced type I diabetic rats treated with or without NaHS (donor of H2S). Mitochondria of cardiac tissues were isolated, and MPTP opening and cytochrome c (cyt C) and Mfn-2 expression were also detected. Our data showed that hyperglycemia decreased the cardiac function by ultrasound cardiogram, and the administration of exogenous H2S ameliorated these changes. We demonstrated that the expression of ER stress sensors and apoptotic rates were elevated in cardiac tissue of DCM and cultured H9C2 cells, but the expression of these proteins was reduced following exogenous H2S treatment. The expression of mitochondrial apoptotic proteins, cyt C, and mPTP opening was decreased following treatment with exogenous H2S. In our experiment, the expression and immunofluorescence of Mfn-2 were both decreased after transfection with Mfn-2-siRNA. Hyperglycemia stimulated ER interactions and mitochondrial apoptotic pathways, which were inhibited by exogenous H2S treatment through the regulation of Mfn-2 expression.

Introduction and rationale: Thyroid hormones participate in several known mechanisms of cardiac function, being compromised in hypothyroidism (HPT), when uncontrolled, is associated with weight gain. HPT and Obesity participate in autonomic dysfunction.
