Baseline clinical characteristics, laboratory parameters, and outcome events were evaluated. MACE was defined as cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke and heart failure, or ventricular arrhythmias that required hospitalization.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: A total of 354 patients (61.8 \u00b1 14.1 yr; 64.7% male) with a mean follow-up of 48.6 \u00b1 26.7 months were studied. AIT, euthyroid status, and amiodarone-induced hypothyroidism were identified in 57 (16.1%), 224 (63.3%), and 73 (20.6%) patients, respectively. No differences in baseline clinical characteristics were observed between AIT and euthyroid patients. Nonetheless AIT patients demonstrated a higher MACE rate (31.6 vs. 10.7%, P &amp;lt; 0.01), mostly driven by a higher rate of ventricular arrhythmias that required admission (7.0 vs. 1.3%, P = 0.03). Cox-regression multivariate analysis revealed that AIT (hazard ratio 2.68; confidence interval 1.53\u20134.68; P &amp;lt; 0.01) and left ventricular ejection fraction less than 45% (hazard ratio 2.52; confidence interval 1.43\u20134.42; P &amp;lt; 0.01) were independent predictors of MACE.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion: In patients prescribed long-term amiodarone therapy, occurrence of AIT is associated with a 2.7-fold increased risk of MACE. Regular and close biochemical surveillance is thus advisable to identify and treat this high-risk group of patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1210\/jc.2008-1907","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,10,21]],"date-time":"2008-10-21T20:34:43Z","timestamp":1224621283000},"page":"109-114","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":77,"title":["Amiodarone-Induced
