Summary:[...]the prognostic importance of the observed TSH elevations should not be overlooked considering the well-demonstrated relationship between elevated TSH values, especially those >10 mIU/L and risk for CHD events and mortality that occur irrespective of serum T3 or T4 alterations.1 Subsequently, we find it highly unlikely that the investigators can truly elucidate the relative diagnostic value of T3, as an isolated predictor of subclinical myocardial injury, considering the "mixed" and coexistent nature of TH abnormalities in this patient population.
