Does anybody have information about thyroid and heart disease?
My recent thyroid tests show
T3: 2.3
T4: 1.4
TSH: 4.67
Whereas when I was taking 25 mg of iodine (as Iodoral) per day:
T3 was as high as 7.1
A doctor advised me to reduce the dosage of iodine.
Now I've found some information that correlates low T3 with heart disease. My current thyroid values are within range of most people, but T3 of 2.3 could be subclinical hypothyroidism.
What is the relation of hypothyroidism to heart disease? I have heart disease that so far has been unresponsive to Pauling therapy. Coronary calcium has climbed from 225 in 2011 to 655 in 2015.
