ABFM HEART DISEASE questions and answers 100% correct A 65-year-old female who has heart failure with an ejection fraction of 35% is found to have a TSH level of 13.8 µU/mL (N 0.3-4.82). Her T3 and T4 levels are normal, and her thyroid gland is normal to palpation. You check her levels again in 2 months and they are unchanged. You advise her that hypothyroidism decreases her metabolic rate, which reduces the stress on her heart hypothyroidism is detrimental to her heart only if she develop...
