AIM: to determine the correlation between free thyroxine level and left ventricular mass in newly diagnoses Graves' disease. METHODS: seventeen patients with newly diagnosed Graves' disease were studied. Inclusion criteria was new case of Graves' disease, no previous history or clinical evidence of coronary artery disease, cardiac valve disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, not taking antithyroid drugs and any drugs that could affect the heart (beta blockers, ACE inhibitor). Echocardiographic indices of left ventricular mass was obtained. RESULTS: there were no correlation between free thyroxine levels and left ventricular mass, systolic and diastolic blood pressure. There was a correlation between pulse rate and left ventricular mass in Graves' disease. CONCLUSION: there was no correlation between free thyroxine level and left ventricular mass in Graves' disease.
