This investigation was carried out in the Cardiology Department at King Abdul Aziz Specialist Hospital in Taif City, Saudi Arabia. In total, 374 patients with a mean age of 62.7+14.7 years old were involved. Based on the admission diagnosis, ischemic changes were noted in 70.6% of the patients. Based on the thyroid function test at admission, euthyroidism was noted in 57.8% of the patients. Among patients admitted to the CCU, thyroid dysfunction is common.
