Baseline data of the subclinical hyperthyroidism patients were compared with data obtained in patients with hyperthyroidism and controls.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: Urinary excretion of norepinephrine and vanillylmandelic acid was higher in the subclinical hyperthyroidism patients compared with controls and lower compared with patients with overt hyperthyroidism. Heart rate variability was lower in patients with hyperthyroidism, intermediate in subclinical hyperthyroidism patients, and highest in the healthy controls. No differences were observed after restoration of euthyroidism.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Conclusions: Long-term exogenous subclinical hyperthyroidism has effects on the autonomic nervous system measured by heart rate variability and urinary catecholamine excretion. No differences were observed after restoration to euthyroidism. This may indicate the occurrence of irreversible changes or adaptation during long-term exposure to excess thyroid hormone that is not remedied by 6-month euthyroidism.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1210\/jc.2008-0080","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,9]],"date-time":"2008-04-09T00:54:04Z","timestamp":1207702444000},"page":"2835-2841","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Autonomic Nervous System Function in Chronic Exogenous Subclinical Thyrotoxicosis and the Effect of Restoring Euthyroidism"],"prefix":"10.1210","volume":"93","author":[{"given":"Carmen F.
