Thyroid Disorders and Heart Conditions

Description:

Thyroid disorders can scale from a small, harmless goiter (enlarged gland) that needs no treatment to life-threatening cancer. The most common thyroid problems involve the abnormal production of thyroid hormones. Too much thyroid hormone results in a condition known as hyperthyroidism. Insufficient hormone production leads to hypothyroidism. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

  • The thyroid gland is shaped like a butterfly and
    it is located in mid of the neck slowly and
    besides to our neck muscles, but anterior to the
    trachea or airway. 
  • Through the hormones, it builds, the thyroid
    gland impacts almost all of the metabolic
    activity in your body. Thyroid disorders can
    scale from a small, harmless goiter (enlarged
    gland) that needs no treatment to
    life-threatening cancer. The most common thyroid
    problems involve the abnormal production of
    thyroid hormones. Too much thyroid hormone
    results in a condition known as hyperthyroidism.
    Insufficient hormone production leads to
    hypothyroidism.

  • The major handle of thyroid hormone synthesis and
    secretion resides at the level of the pituitary
    gland, a small endocrine gland that occupies at
    the bottom of the brain. The pituitary gland,
    when performing normally, can correctly sense
    whether the amount of circulating thyroid hormone
    is suitable, and handles the thyroid gland via
    production and release of a pituitary hormone
    known as thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
    Diseases of the thyroid may be capricious
    categorized into problems of thyroid hormone
    production (too muchHyperthyroidism) or (not
    enoughHypothyroidism) or thyroid growth or
    enlargement (diffuse symmetrical enlargement,
    single or multiple benign nodules or thyroid
    cancer). Some patients may have both a bother in
    thyroid function and may also have an expand
    thyroid with one or more thyroid nodules. When
    thyroid disease produces as a result of problems
    with the thyroid gland itself, it is raised to as
    Primary Thyroid Dysfunction (hypo or
    hyperthyroidism, etc). Alternatively, if thyroid
    hormone levels are unusual as a consequence of
    hypothalamic or pituitary problems, this is
    referred to as Secondary Thyroid Dysfunction
    (hypo or hyperthyroidism, etc).

  • The examination of the thyroid can be brought
    about from the front or back position. The neck
    is curved to relax the neck muscles, which can be
    affably displaced to examine each thyroid lobe.
    In many examples, the deep fiddle of the neck is
    necessary to feel the Thyroid Gland, which often
    elicits an uncomfortable choking sensation. Some
    supremacy advocates self-examination of the
    thyroid using the thyroid neck check. While in
    front of a mirror, focus on your neck and swallow
    some water. If a large bump or asymmetric
    swelling becomes visible, see your physician for
    a more complete neck examination.

  • This Website is grown in part as a response to
    the proliferation of thyroid-related internet
    sites, many of which contain unreliable
    non-validated information and content of
    questionable reliability. Wherever possible, this
    site provides links to topical references in the
    medical and scientific information to allow
    patients to understand the scientific basis for
    facts, medical decisions, and recommendations.
    Patients are strongly inspired to read widely
    about their thyroid disease to better understand
    their specific thyroid condition, and the various
    related diagnostic and treatment regimens.
    Evaluation carefully the information on the
    Internet from sources that may or may not
    represent the opinions of trustworthy highly
    trained and experienced health professionals. 
    Wherever possible, this site provides links to
    typical original references in the medical and
    scientific literature to allow patients to
    understand the scientific basis for medical
    decisions and recommendations.
