Our next paper: Abnormal #thyroid function is common in #takotsubo syndrome and depends on two distinct mechanisms: results of a multicentre observational study onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
In this study, we compared patients with #takotsubo syndrome (#TTS) with age- and sex-matched normal subjects from the #NHANES collective and with patients affected by acute coronary syndrome (#ACS) from the AQUA FONTIS study (@StudyAqua). Main outcome measure was serum #FT4. 
With artificial intelligence / machine learning we identified two clusters of #thyroid function in #TTS and three clusters in the whole population. #AI #ML pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33179374/
Tweetorial on our new paper, part 1: #Thyrotropin (#TSH) concentration is elevated in post-traumatic stress disorder (#PTSD), reflecting an elevated #setpoint of #pituitary-#thyroid feedback control. doi.org/10.3389/fendo.…
2 | TSH correlates to #allostatic load, measured by #SIQALS 2 score. Although #TSH rises, #FT4 and #FT3 concentration don't go down. Therefore, TSH doesn't reflect #hypothyroidism, but an increased setpoint due to type 2 #allostasis. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
3 | #Jostel's TSH index (#JTI) correlates to the #SIQALS 2 score for type 2 #allostatic_load in a large dataset of the #NHANES collective. This supports an elevated reference input (set point) of #thyroid #homeostasis in chronic #stress. doi.org/10.3389/fendo.…
