Abstract

In 8 patients (3 men and 5 women) with short-term primary hypothyroidism before and during replacement therapy, and in an age-matched control group (9 men and 7 women), we assessed maximal inspiratory muscle force (Pimax) and the ventilatory control system at neural (EMG), muscular (P_0.1), and ventilatory (VE and Vt/Ti) levels. While hypothyroid, patients exhibited a significantly lower Pimax. During a CO₂ rebreathing test, hypothyroid patients exhibited similar diaphragmatic electromyographic (EMGd) and ventilatory (VE) response slopes to increasing end-tidal CO₂ tension (ΔEMGd/ΔPetCO₂ and ΔVE/ΔPetCO₂), but significantly less ΔP_0.1/ΔPetCO₂ (p2 (p3), Pimax (p0.1/ΔPetCO₂, and Δ(Vt/Ti)/ΔPetCO₂ response slopes were found to be significantly increased (p3 increases both force (P_0.1 and Pimax) and velocity (Vt/Ti) of inspiratory muscle contraction.
