Abstract

Objective: Thyroid disease is a common endocrine disease with important effects on the cardiovascular system. As an adaptive response to myocardial ischemia, coronary collateral circulation (CCC) plays an important role in obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). The association between serum thyroid hormone levels and development of CCC was investigated in the present study.
