Master’s Thesis on **Cardiovascular Risk Assessment Markers in Hypothyroidism** by student **Arkan Hamed Hatrosh**
“Investigation of Neuregulin 1, Growth Differentiation Factor 15, and Lipid-Based Indices in Assessing Cardiovascular Risk in Overt and Subclinical Hypothyroidism.”
The results revealed a significant decrease in Neuregulin 1 levels and an increase in Growth Differentiation Factor 15 levels, indicating heightened systemic stress and reduced cardiac protection, along with an elevation in other cardiovascular risk markers. The study further demonstrated the ability of these biomarkers to distinguish between disease states using ROC curve analysis.
