Resumen

La disfunción endotelial así como la hipercoagulabilidad han sido descritas como los factores iniciales desencadenantes de la aterosclerosis y del daño cardiovascular y se han asociado con el Hipotiroidismo subclínico (HSC). El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar la concentración de óxido nítrico (ON), fibrinógeno y lípidos circulantes en pacientes con Hipotiroidismo subclínico y correlacionar dichas variables con la concentración de tirotropina (TSH) para establecer su posible asociación con el desarrollo de daño cardiovascular. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, correlacional de corte transversal en el Hospital IESS de Riobamba, Ecuador, en el periodo comprendido desde enero de 2019 hasta septiembre de 2021. Se estudiaron 95 sujetos (65 pacientes con HSC y 30 controles).Se determinó la concentración de colesterol total, triglicéridos, HDL colesterol y LDL colesterol, TSH, Tiroxina libre, ON y fibrinógeno. Resultados: Se encontró una disminución en la concentración de ON (p <0.001), acompañado de un incremento en la concentración de colesterol total (p <0.0001), LDL colesterol (p <0.01) y fibrinógeno (p <0.0001) en los pacientes con HSC vs los controles. Se realiza una correlación negativa (p <0.0001; r = -0.5020) entre la TSH y el ON y una correlación positiva (p <0.0001; r = 5412) entre la TSH y el fibrinógeno plasmático en los pacientes con HSC. Conclusión: los pacientes con HSC envío una disminución en los niveles séricos de ON y una elevación en la concentración plasmática de fibrinógeno.Ambas mediciones se correlacionaron significativamente con la concentración de TSH.
