Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Based on accumulating evidences showing that hypothyroid status is associated with poor prognosis among acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients, the study is designed to evaluate whether replacement treatment with levothyroxine could have beneficial effects on patients with AMI and hypothyroidism. This is a multicenter prospective computerized-randomized trial stratified by ejection fraction with a 1:1 ratio to levothyroxine group or standard therapy group.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary hypothesis is that reversing the hypothyroid status with levothyroxine on top of standard therapy for AMI is safe and has beneficial effects on cardiac function, myocardial perfusion/metabolism and myocardial fibrosis.
