The thyroid gland, a small gland located in the neck just below your Adam’s apple, is responsible for regulating many vital bodily functions. By producing just the right amount of thyroid hormone , the thyroid helps to regulate your body's metabolism – most importantly, how much oxygen and energy your body uses - as well as your digestive function, muscle function, and skin tone. In fact, the thyroid has at least some effect on every organ in the body - including the heart.

Thyroid hormone is very important for normal cardiovascular function, so when there is not enough thyroid hormone, neither the heart nor the blood vessels can function normally. In hypothyroidism the heart muscle becomes weakened, and can no longer pump as vigorously as it should. In addition, the heart muscle cannot fully relax in between heart beats. This failure to relax can produce diastolic dysfunction, a condition that can lead to heart failure. Hypothyroidism also causes blood vessels to stiffen, which can produce hypertension.
