the effect of this disease on the heart is more likely to be related to the replacement therapy of the thyroid hormones than with Hashimoto's disease itself. when the gland starts to breakdown, hypothyroidism may have to be treated by replacing the inappropriately low, or absent endogenous thyroid hormone with a synthetic equivalent such as Synthroid or Levoxyl taken daily by mouth. Should the dose be too high then this can bring about palpitations or irregular heartbeat which in time can weaken the heart and weakened heart. It can also result in osteoporosis. If the hormone is under replaced, it can exacerbate heart failure and change cholesterol profiles to become less favourable, It can also slow the heart rate down. on the other hand, if Hashimoto's resulting in hypothyroidism remains untreated this can also occur.

What is hashimoto's Hypothyroidism?

Hashimoto's and Hypothyroidism are actually different things, even though they both effect the thyroids. Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disease which causes antibodies to react against proteins in the thyroid gland, making the gland unable to perform its functions. Hypothyroidism itself is a condition, in which the thyroid is either underactive or totally unable to function. The link in this chain is that Hashimoto's disease is a leading cause of hypothyroidism. By Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism, I assume you mean Hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto's disease.
