Table 2.

Comparison of thyroid function parameters among subgroups with different pulmonary artery systolic pressures.

Non-PH
(n = 725)		 Mild PH
(n = 60)		 Moderate-to-severe
PH (n = 26)		 Model 1
P value		 Model 2
P value
FT3 4.32 ± 0.56 4.28 ± 0.68 4.18 ± 0.74 0.40 0.38
FT4 15.30 ± 2.07 15.75 ± 2.31∗ 16.80 ± 2.94∗# <0.01 0.01

PH: pulmonary hypertension; FT4: free thyroxine; FT3: free triiodothyronine; TSH: thyroid-stimulating hormone; Model 1: unadjusted; Model 2: adjusted for age, gender, BMI, and LVEF. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. ∗P < 0.05 versus the non-PH group, #P < 0.05 versus the mild PH group.
