BACKGROUND Thyroid hormones profoundly influence the cardiovascular system, but the effects of mild thyroid dysfunction on the clinical outcome of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are not well defined. This study aimed to determine the effect of mild thyroid dysfunction on 12-month prognosis in ACS patients undergoing PCI. METHODS In this prospective cohort study with a 12-month follow-up, 1560 individuals were divided into four groups based on thyroid hormone levels upon admission: euthyroidism (used as a reference group), subclinical hypothyroidism, subclinical hyperthyroidism, and low triiodothyronine syndrome (low T3 syndrome). The outcomes measured were all-cause mortality, cardiac mortality, nonfatal reinfarction, and unplanned repeat revascularization. RESULTS In this study, the prevalence of mild thyroid dysfunction was 10.8%. Multivariate analysis showed that low T3 syndrome, but not subclinical hypothyroidism or subclinical hyperthyroidism, was associated with a higher rate of all-cause (HR 2.553, 95% CI 1.093-5.964, p = 0.030) and cardiac mortality (HR 2.594, 95% CI 1.026-6.559, p = 0.034), compared with the euthyroidism group. CONCLUSIONS Mild thyroid dysfunction was frequent in patients with ACS undergoing PCI. Low T3 syndrome was the predominant feature and was associated with 12-month adverse outcomes in these patients.
