Free triiodothyronine (fT3)\/free thyroxine (fT4) ratio was significantly correlated with most of echocardiographic parameters, such as chamber diameters and ejection fraction. Sixteen patients (14%) died during the follow-up period; their fT3\/fT4 ratio was significantly lower than the patients who survived (1.31\u00b10.37 vs. 2.01\u00b10.72, p&amp;lt;0.001). A fT3\/fT4 ratio of \u22641.7 was associated with an increased risk of mortality (p&amp;lt;0.001), independent of other prognostic markers.
