Do you have mild hypothyroidism?

 

We are conducting a research study investigating risk factors for heart disease in people with mild thyroid failure (slightly low thyroid hormone level), also known as subclinical hypothyroidism. If you are found to have a TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) value between 5-20 mIU/L and are not currently taking any thyroid medication, you may be eligible for this study. We are looking for people between the ages of 18 and 50, without any history of heart disease, high cholesterol, or diabetes, and also not using a birth control pill. This study is being conducted at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. The study will involve a few blood tests and an ultrasound study of a blood vessel in the arm. There is no cost to you for participation in this study. You will be paid for participating in this study.
