4/20/15 Coronary risk doesn’t appear elevated with thyrotropin levels on the upper end of normal, a patient-level meta-analysis of 14 cohorts showed. In it, people on the highest end of the normal range, at 3.50 to 4.49 mIU/L, had a similar risk of a first coronary heart disease event (hazard ratio 0.97, 95% confidence interval […]
